About
The St. Petersburg TRHT—formerly known as the St. Petersburg/Pinellas Higher Education for Racial Equity (SPHERE)—is an officially recognized Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation campus center of the American Association Colleges and Universities. Our Center is a collaboration between Stetson University College of Law, Eckerd College and community organizations in Pinellas County, Florida.

The St. Petersburg TRHT empowers students and community members to take leadership in dismantling systemic racism and false notions of racial hierarchy. We collaborate with organizations, government entities, and higher education institutions in Pinellas County to advance programming, advocacy, and services that enhance racial equity. Through our Racial Justice Fellowship Program, Community Conversations, and National Day of Racial Healing, we strive to make St. Petersburg a more just and equitable place to live and work.
