Community Healing Days is an annual celebration, on the third weekend of every October, created to encourage Black people to take the time, as Dr. Maya Angelou, Chair of CHN’s Board of Advisors, says, “to heal from the lies that have been told to us and the ones we’ve told ourselves.”
On September 13, 2010, Dr. Angelou called on people everywhere to join together in a simple, but powerful, act of solidarity during Community Healing Days–to Wear Sky Blue “to show our collective determination to turn the pain of the blues into the sky blue of unlimited possibilities.”
Click here to read Dr. Angelou’s original message. CHN will respond to Dr. Angelou’s call each and every year, and we invite you to join us to make this the decade of emotional emancipation for Black people everywhere.

Wear Sky Blue: A Call to Healing from Dr. Maya Angelou
Dear Friend:
I am writing to ask you to join me in saying “yes” to healing, “yes” to psychological liberation, “yes” to emotional freedom.
CNN last month released the results of yet another doll study showing that too many children, black and white alike, are biased in favor white skin–yet another sign of the continuing power of the myths of white superiority and black inferiority.
Let’s take a stand for emotional emancipation. Let’s come together in one simple, but powerful, act of solidarity. Let’s Wear Sky Blue during Community Healing Days, on the third weekend in October, to show our collective determination to turn the pain of the blues into the sky blue of unlimited possibilities.
All you have to do is wear something light blue like the color of the sky on a bright sunny day.
Say yes! Please make your commitment to Wear Sky Blue … and encourage your family and friends to do the same.
Our organization has chosen a simple means of showing support. We are asking every one to Wear Sky Blue whether it is at work or at play.

Sincerely,
Dr. Maya Angelou
