A Women of Color Collective Dinner Discussion
South Africa, Rwanda, Canada, Fiji, Peru, and Australia all have established Truth and Reconciliation Commissions to overcome historical conflicts in their nations in order to facilitate peaceful transitions from civil strife to national unity. The U.S., however, has never formed a commission to overcome its racial inequalities. What was our transition to this post-Civil Rights era? Do commissions work, or do they promote a national repression of past transgressions? Would a Truth and Reconciliation Commission work in the U.S.? What would a 21st century reconciliation model look like? Can our racial wounds be healed if they are never acknowledged in public and governmental forums? Please join WoCC for dinner and a discussion about these issues.
