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

Greetings,

For Commissioners, staff, students and other volunteers, being involved in this history-making process is like being enrolled in a real-world human relations school. We're learning so much and we're grateful for the lessons. The good news is that "enrollment" is free and open to all. Join us!
  • School's out for most colleges and universities, and we're pleased to begin welcoming a crew of summer interns. They come to us from N.C. A&T, UNCG, Guilford College, Davidson College, Antioch University McGregor, Smith College and the law schools at UNC Chapel Hill, Fordham University and Vanderbilt University.
  • Our experience the other week didn't stop us from seeking statements through messages to Klan and Nazi-oriented Web sites. We're happy to report that our few hostile responses have been followed by a few that are more positive. We remain committed to our belief that all people touched by Nov. 3, 1979 - no matter what role they may have played - have a "truth" we need to hear.
  • This week's progress indicator: Through internships, 14 students so far have made or arranged to make participating with the Commission in this democratic experiment part of their overall learning experience.

  • July 15-16, 2-9 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, First Public Hearing. Location TBA.
  • Aug. 26-27, 2-9 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, Second Public Hearing. Location TBA.
