Michigan Roundtable for Just Communities

We empower individuals to transform communities and the workplace to overcome racism, discrimination, systemic inequities, and institutional and inherent bias.

The Michigan Roundtable for Diversity and Inclusion was originally founded in 1941 to mediate religious differences. Over time the Roundtable evolved to also mediate cultural and racial differences. Before long, the Roundtable became known as a leader in promoting harmony among racial, religious, cultural, and economic groups. Today, the Roundtable serves as a human relations organization whose purpose is to overcome discrimination and racism by crossing generational, geographic, racial, religious, ethnic, and cultural boundaries. The Roundtable’s primary goals are centered on solving two societal issues: 1) systemic disparities related to racial, cultural, and social injustices; and 2) combating institutional and inherent bias. We address these issues by exploring how racism has affected the Metropolitan Detroit area’s ability to flourish by focusing on three key programming areas: Community Engagement, Youth Development, and Workplace Diversity, Inclusion and Equity Consulting.
