Tranforming America’s Racial Karma

How can we participate in breaking the cycle of America’s racial trauma? Larry Ward, Ph.D., student of Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh and author of America’s Racial Karma, discusses how we can bring clear intention and compassionate action to the path of racial healing.
