The charge of the Dayton Dialogue on Race Relations (DDRR) is to take a leadership role in working to eradicate racism in the Miami Valley by building an interdependent community that values racial, religious and cultural differences among all residents.  DDRR is a community initiative whose primary goal is to implement a process of healing race relations by utilizing dialogue to foster reconciliation through honest conversation, understanding and action.  One of DDRR’s primary goals is to provide “models of hope” that demonstrates effective urban/suburban, black/white partnerships.
