NCCJ promotes understanding and respect among all races, religions and cultures through advocacy, conflict resolution, and education. Its recent initiative, the National Conversation on Race, Ethnicity, and Culture in America, modeled focused discussion in workplace and community settings by bringing together a range of leading American thinkers for dialogue. NCCJ has made use of technology to telecast such discussions nationally, enabling both live and distant audience interaction. NCCJ has 65 regional offices throughout the country. Through a variety of programs and educational opportunities, the regional offices carry out this important work of promoting understanding and respect among all races, religions, and cultures. | |
