Group Two Discussed specific efforts the group could collaborate on, including mobilizing purchasing power to support efforts against racism and poverty. Group Three Started with the premise that within the human genome, race is only one-tenth of one percent of the factors that distinguish us from one another. We need to teach that love is something opposite from hate. Racism is a product created by humans, not by God. For collaboration to happen, some time must be spent in silence.

There is a need to deal with and welcome differences with a clear understanding of strength. Inability to operate outside the box. In the first session the group covered obstacles. The group also engaged in discussion about a national health plan, with arguments both for and against. In the second session, the group talked largely about pharmaceutical companies and their role in health care.
