After watching these videos my heart hurts for our nation and for many of it's citizens. Too long I have not known the truth. Too long I have not sought the truth. This truly hurts my heart. The historical events, rules, and laws 100% still impact our society today. The fact that these events aren't public knowledge is painful to know. My ignorance is painful. I refuse to continue to be ignorant. My pain in finding these facts out is not even a drop of the waterfalls of pain that the people that lived these events have experienced. That they continue to experience. Our nation is so very broken. I will continue to educate myself and open my eyes to the injustice around us to help heal our nation. I pray that I will also be able to pass this knowledge on to my children so they do not grow up as unaware as I have.
I am right there with you Helen .. 100%
I have felt *very* overwhelmed by guilt and shame. and was comforted to revisit those as known terms from the start of our training.
I wanted to commit here that -like you- I will continue to educate myself as well .. no matter how the work - or, the severity of pain.
Wishing you well on your journey.
Best,
Karyn
