foundry10’s Post

https://lnkd.in/gkQE9pu2 From Eve Anderson Hargrave's Facebook Post: This video reinforces the importance of acknowledging past injustices and listening to community voices. Thank you Mike Meinkoth for sharing! Some background on this amazing video from Mike Meinkoth: This video was produced as one of several stipulations to address a highway project’s Section 106 adverse effect upon historic properties and an Environmental Justice disproportionately high and adverse effects on a minority and low-income population - all associated with the remnant of the Foot. The Foot was the historic African-American business and residential district of Jefferson City Missouri that was basically erased in the 1960s by Urban Renewal. Because of past impacts by local government and agencies it took over 5 years of a lot of talking with the community to earn their trust that it will be their voices telling the story in this video. One of the first step of community outreach after conversations were started was setting up an oral history program run the local historical society (selected by the by the consulting parties). Hopefully this video encourages more former residents of the Foot to participate and have their stories told. All of those who were interviewed in the video reviewed and commented on the rough cut video. Unfortunately 3 of the 6 interviewees passes away before the video’s premiere at neighboring Lincoln University (a Historically Black College/University and consulting party). This strongly reinforced that time is running out to capture the memories of this shrinking population. In my 43 year career this is 1 of my top 5 memorable mitigation efforts.

After the riots: Building the foundations for social cohesion This paper by the Together Coalition, British Future and Belong-The Cohesion and Integration Network offers a useful analysis of the recent riots, uncovering longer-term trends that underpinned the violent outbreaks. Now, more than ever, we need to be building bridges, not walls. But in a world teeming with difference and diversity, we can't rely on our instincts alone to build relationships across divides. Learning how to live together must become a long-term priority for our education system, backed up by government support. https://lnkd.in/eMsfvp5y

If you're concerned about political polarization and wondering where to start, here's a good spot! This Wednesday, nine brave BSU students will share stories of their widely varying experiences, values and political positions. And we get to practice just listening and reflecting, without judgment, interruption or jumping to conclusions. Here's a preview of the event from an interview on last week's Idaho Matters. #BSUListens #idaholistens #communication #values #depolarization #publicspeaking #conversation #listening #BSU #idahomatters #kbsu
