Race: How can we truly have a conversation about it?



SEATTLE -- Last week brought a series of horrific events: Police shootings in both Louisiana and Minnesota that left two black men dead; a peaceful protest in Dallas over these shootings, that were overtaken by a gunman who killed five police officers.

It's left a nation reeling, with many people wondering just where we really stand when it comes to race relations.

Dr. Caprice Hollins and Ilsa Govan are the co-founders of Cultures Connecting, a company that provides workshops and consulting on race relations. Their focus? Addressing race relations overall in the 21st century.

Hollins and Govan say the way we talk about race in this country is part of the problem, and why we find ourselves here. But they say it is also part of the solution. Watch the video for their ideas on how we can all change the way we talk about race and potentially make some significant strides forward. In part, Hollins and Govan say the key is to take the stigma out of the idea that there is a 'right' or 'wrong' way to feel about race; the only way for us to come together and truly talk about a way forward is to be honest with where we are right now.
