SUMMARY:A Study of Legacy\, Narrative Work\, and Truth Telling\, with Tad Roach (Equal Justice Initiative)
DESCRIPTION:Bryan Stevenson developed the vision for the Legacy Sites in Montgomery\, Alabama\, after studying how Germany\, South Africa\, and Rwanda confronted histories of violence and injustice to promote truth\, repair\, and reconciliation. \nAs Stevenson writes\, “In America\, we have resisted that reckoning.” \nThrough the Legacy Museum\, the National Memorial for Peace and Justice\, Freedom Monument Sculpture Park\, and Montgomery Square\, the Equal Justice Initiative explores how slavery evolved rather than ended because the nation never fully confronted racial injustice at its roots. \nJoin Tad Roach\, Learning and Engagement Specialist at the Equal Justice Initiative\, for a discussion on the Legacy Sites and the power of historical research\, truth-telling\, repair\, and healing. Together\, we will consider how Stevenson’s model speaks to contemporary challenges of hatred and violence around the world. \n(open to everyone) (1 clock hour for WA teachers)
