Claremont Collaborative

Democracy, Race, Community Building is a joint project by CAPD and the Claremont Graduate University designed to provide lessons from effective multi-racial community building efforts. The project is funded by the Schuman Brother’s Fund (which is headed by Bill Moyers), the Kellogg Foundation, and Project Change.

The first product of this effort is a handbook of lessons to be produced in several languages and widely disseminated
