The Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission was an independent, democratically selected body seeking truth and healing transformation for Greensboro, N.C., a city left divided and weakened by the events of Nov. 3, 1979.
The seven commissioners were a respected group of individuals selected for their diverse perspectives, strengths and resolve to fulfill their Mandate.
The truth and reconciliation process is designed to examine and learn from a divisive event in Greensboro's past in order to build the foundation for a more unified future.
The Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission is based upon similar efforts around the world, most notably in South Africa.
Building on this wealth of international experience, Greensboro represents the first application of this model in the United States.
