Delegation to South Africa
For ten days, November 11, 2007 through November 20, 2007,
individuals associated with the ground-breaking Greensboro
Truth and Community Reconciliation Process engaged in a
"travel consultation" to South Africa. The trip was designed
as a living-learning experience, where participants both
shared the Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation process with
their South African counterparts and learned from the rich
struggle that has emerged out of apartheid.

Community In Dialogue
On December 3rd, 2006 residents,
pastors, leaders, and friends of the
Greensboro community gathered at Bennett
College for the first of four
Communitywide Town Meetings.
Participants heard from panelists who
represented several of the diverse
pockets of the Greensboro community. The
engagement of nearly a hundred concerned
citizens made for a powerful event of
sharing and challenge.
Similar gatherings were held on March 11th, June 10th, and
September 9th of 2007 at the Downtown Branch of the
Greensboro Public Library. Each meeting built on the one
before resulting in over a year of quality engagement with
the Commission's Final Report.
When Truth Must be Told
More than 350 people took part of
Reflection, Prayer and Worship service
that focused on renewing spiritual
strength and courage and remain
undaunted by opposition as they continue
to support the truth and reconciliation
process. Rev. J. Herbert Nelson
delivered a very powerful message on Jun
16th and encouraged those to embrace the
Historic work of the Greensboro Truth
Commission work.
