Webinar: Truth, Healing and Reconciliation

Sandra White Hawk, AHA Advisory Group member, will present an historical overview of the removal of large numbers of Native American children from their tribal families during two periods in U.S. history. She will share her personal story as one of the children removed from her Indian family and describe how it impacted her life. White Hawk will also discuss how she drew from this experience in pioneering opportunities for Native adoptees and formerly fostered individuals to reconnect with their tribal communities by developing Truth, Healing and Reconciliation forums, now offered throughout the United States. AHA will sponsor one of White Hawk's forums in the Twin Cities in March 2011.

Article: Rosa Parks' Other (Radical) Side

http://www.theroot.com/views/rosa-parks-other-radical-side

The flesh-and-blood Rosa Parks was a lot more interesting than the one we read about in history books. A new book details how she was a warrior for justice for black women who were brutally raped by white men in the segregated South.
