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

Greetings,

Warm thanks going out this week to Linda Evans of the Greensboro Historical Museum and Lewis Brandon III of the Beloved Community Center's Grassroots History Project for their presentations on local history to help orient our summer interns. The two presentations added to our growing understanding of the context in which we're working.
  • Although we take our work seriously, we're not always serious. To prove it we've gotten permission from our friends at the Green Bean to call next Tuesday evening "GTRC Night" and invite the community to mix and mingle with us there. The shop, located at 341 S. Elm St., has a broad selection of coffees, teas, beers, wines and more for sale, and we'll be there from 7-9 p.m. Do drop in!
  • This week's progress indicator: A dose of truth and reconciliation was beamed to more than 100,000 Guilford County cable customers with the premiere of "TRC Talk."
  • Volunteer of the week: Steve Flynn, a Ph.D. candidate in UNCG's Department of Educational Leadership and Cultural Foundations, is one of the earliest members of our research team and has taken several statements so far. Thanks, Steve!
Upcoming:
  • Labor Conversation (for former mill workers, managers and organizers), 6:30 p.m. Wednesday (June 8), Glenwood Library, 1901 W. Florida St.
