Who is the Facilitating Racial Equity Collaborative?The Facilitating Racial Equity Collaborative (FREC) is a loose collective of organizations committed to overcoming racism in Minnesota. We organized the Overcoming Racism: Why IS It So Hard? conference November 6-7, 2009 and the second annual Overcoming Racism conference, Recognizing and Challenging the Legacies That Oppress Us, October 29 & 30, 2010.
