Greensboro's Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Community Dialogue

This is a little history of TRC. The truth and reconciliation process is designed to examine and learn from a divisive event in Greensboro's past in order to build the foundation for a more unified future. The Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission is based upon similar efforts around the world, most notably in South Africa. Building on this wealth of international experience, Greensboro represents the first application of this model in the United States.

Greensboro's communities were invited to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Community Dialogue. Held on Sat. November 5, 2005 at Mt. Zion Baptist Church

The goals of this event were:

•  To give the community a voice in the Commission’s final report recommendations
  
•  To help the community, including the Commission, to better understand the issues surrounding the    events    of Nov. 3, 1979, and how they are connected to our present and future.
  
•  To lay a foundation for community bridge building over time.
