July 21st is Maxine Crump's birthday!

It all started in 1994, when Baton Rouge asked one simple question at a town meeting: "What color is community?" Maxine turned that question into something that didn't exist yet: a real, structured way for people to talk about race and actually get somewhere. Over 20 years later, that idea is a national conversation, chartered as a nonprofit in 2011 and still growing today.

If Maxine has impacted you, whether through Dialogue on Race changing how you talk about race, or how you show up in a hard conversation, or through your interactions with her, today's the day to show it.

For her birthday, we're asking you to be one of 100 people giving $21 to celebrate her and Dialogue on Race.

Happy Birthday, Maxine!
