Bridging Histories for a Better Future: Insights from a Transformative Conversation I recently tuned in to an extraordinary 60-minute interview hosted by Anderson Cooper. The dialogue unfolded between descendants of enslaved individuals and descendants of oppressors, addressing the weighty subject of reconciliation. This conversation mirrored the journey organizations must embark on to foster active equity. Here are some takeaways on initiating these pivotal discussions within your workspace: 1. Confront Privilege: Privilege is like an invisible passport of ease; it’s time we use it for collective good. Consider: What effortless advantages do you carry? How can you spare 5 minutes to extend a helping hand? 2. Mutual Reconciliation Proposals: Equity is not a one-sided narrative. Like a transparent salary disclosure, both parties must come prepared with solutions and measures for success, avoiding the pitfalls of imbalance in dialogue. 3. Recognize the Difficulty of ‘The Ask’: For descendants of the enslaved, raising a voice has historically been met with severe consequences. The workplace is no different. Acknowledge the courage it takes to ask not just for survival, but for the means to thrive. 4. Embrace Emotional Expression: Emotional suppression is a silent norm for Black individuals in professional settings. Let’s break that mold. Emotions are a human right, not a professional liability. 5. Patience in Progress: Resistance to change is no deterrent. It’s an invitation to sit down, roll up our sleeves, and work through the challenges—snacks in hand and a shared commitment to see it through. This discussion is a powerful reminder that the road to reconciliation and equity is not a sprint but a marathon.

In 2019, following a year-long search of the bottom of the Mobile River in Alabama, marine archaeologists identified the well-preserved remains of the Clotilda, the last ship to carry enslaved people to the U.S. As the recent 60 MINUTES segment below shows, descendants of the Clotilda’s survivors have been keeping their ancestors’ memory alive for generations by sharing stories of the ship and its 110 enslaved passengers. Their efforts have brought attention to #Africatown, the Alabama community that Clotilda survivors founded, and the Clotilda Descendants Association, which helped organize a recent reconciliation roundtable with descendants of the Alabama slaveowner who conspired to sneak the ship into the U.S. in 1860. Jeremy Ellis — a mentee and one of my favorite Accenture folks despite always razzing me when my sports teams lose (yes, I know your Auburn University Tigers just crushed my Irish in hoops by 30) — is the current president of the Association and a direct descendant of Pollee and Rose Allen, two of the enslaved Africans aboard the Clotilda. For him and the other Association members, the Clotilda’s discovery and the story of their ancestors represent an opportunity to reckon with our past, but it is also about how families and communities — especially ones that live side-by-side — can grant grace, experience healing, and achieve reconciliation in the present day.

The closest many will get to understanding the carnage and sacrifice of the D-Day Landings 80 years ago today will be through watching films like Saving Private Ryan or visiting museums. Over 4000 allied forces lost their lives on 6 June 1944 to help defeat the Nazi ideology 80 years ago, so that today we can enjoy the freedoms we have, and too often take for granted. It is our duty to protect the freedoms we have and never forget those that laid down their lives in 1944 and throughout two World Wars. It is duty too to also educate our children and future generations to commemorate days like today. Find articles like the one below with facts about D-Day they can read to understand the sacrifices. But most of all we must also say never again to global wars and to dictators no matter what flag they fly and their cause https://lnkd.in/du6ZjQWv #dday80 #neverforget #sacrifice #operationoverlord #educate #neveragain

Professional Speaker and Advisor | Award-Winning Podcast Host | Hitchhiking Rabbi | Vistage Speaker | Create a culture of ethics that earns trust, sparks initiative, and limits liability
For those who cannot tell the difference between aggression and self-defense... For those who cannot recognize that brutal murder is not equivalent to collateral damage... For those who refuse to learn history and apply its lessons... For those who delude yourselves into believing it is possible to make peace with those determined to destroy you... For those who believe you hold the moral high ground because your feelings incapacitate your intellect... For those of you who imagine that you would have been on the right side of history when today you base your ideology on slogans you don't understand... Please listen to these words. And as you do, ponder how, if D-Day arrived today rather than 80 years ago, you would likely have been protesting violence and the death of innocents. Ponder how, had others like you carried the day and thwarted the military efforts that ultimately stopped the forces of totalitarian evil, you would not now have the freedom to shout your misguided messages and promote your distorted values. These words remind us who we should be, who we must aspire to be, who we can be, if we reclaim the values on which our society was founded. Do not forget them. https://lnkd.in/gPhkBvgT #DDay #history #ethics #moralcompass #freedom
