Equitable Dinners

Connect. Be Inspired. Act.

Equitable Dinners Atlanta is…

a collaborative partnership of Out of Hand Theater, The National Center for Civil and Human Rights, the Fulton County Remembrance Coalition and many other community partners. Launched by a short one person play, Equitable Dinners invites everyone into a shared experience of the pains and the joys of life. Participants are then guided in a facilitated conversation and share together how they can make a positive difference. Guests leave with a deeper connection with others, hopeful about the future and their role in it.

If you’ve been asking, “How can I make a difference, when this issue seems so big?” “Where can I find other people to have meaningful conversations about race?” “What can I do differently everyday to change this world?” Then you are in the right place!

What role can you play?

  • Host.

    Hosts coordinate the meal, welcome guests, and provide a location for guests to gather.

  • Facilitate.

    Facilitators moderate impactful dialogues, helping to keep the conversation on track.

  • Be an Actor.

  • Be a Guest.

    You are the alchemy, activating community through meaningful connection.

1906 Atlanta Race Massacre.

This is the third year Equitable Dinners will engage the community in conversations commemorating the 1906 Atlanta Race Massacre and the legacy of Civil Rights in Atlanta.

Why now?

Our goal is to commemorate the anniversary of the 1906 Atlanta Race Massacre as a community; and to foster community and have vital conversations on how we inspire positive action for moving Atlanta forward together.
