- an update from the Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission-

No. 23 - July 26, 2005

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

Greetings,

The buzz generated by our first public hearing continues around town and beyond. Don't forget that the News & Record has posted audio files of the hearing, and that Cable 8 will broadcast the video from 2-6 a.m. the late night/early mornings of July 29-31 (set your VCRs).

We're pleased to report that our ever-expanding network of collaborators has connected our research team to some help thinking through legal issues from Irving Joyner at the N.C. Central University School of Law and from Robin Kirk and Catherine Admay at the Duke Human Rights Initiative.
This week's progress indicator: More than 130 local, state, national and international print, Internet, radio and television journalists are on our media e-mail list, keeping up with this historic truth and reconciliation process.
Volunteer of the Week: Eric Smith, our Greensboro native, Grimsley grad, Davidson College student winding up an internship combining his personal history, skills, interests and goals into a summertime mix we hope was as beneficial to him as he was to us. Thanks, Eric!
