UBUNTU - "I am what I am because of who we all are." For a more complete definition, visit Wikipedia

Greetings,

Thanks for all the feedback on last week's maiden report, and thanks to all who joined us at the Central Library for last week's Ashby Dialogue. The discussion gave some folks a new appreciation for the work we're trying to do. "Truth and reconciliation sounded pretty easy," one participant said. "I hear now how complicated it is."

• Thanks to the team of chaplains at Moses Cone Memorial Hospital, free counseling is available to all individuals choosing to revisit the trauma surrounding Nov. 3, 1979, for the sake of personal and community healing.
• As with truth and reconciliation efforts in other countries, community organizations will be instrumental in Greensboro. We need partner organizations to help us educate community members and to broaden the array of statements we receive. Your group can help by sponsoring a meeting, endorsing our work, or in other ways. To find out more, call or e-mail us.

Upcoming:

• 7-9 p.m. Wednesday, March 2, UNCG, New Science Building Room 233, Ashby Dialogue Media Panel with Allen Johnson, News & Record editorial page editor; Jordan Green, Yes! Weekly staff writer; and Joya Wesley, GTRC communications director. For more information, call 334-3842 or e-mail [email protected].
