A ‘truth and reconciliation talk circle’ was held at the Jaycees Pavilion in Lake Park in Winona yesterday, part of the Sesqui Capitol for a Day activities.
It was organized by the Winona-Dakota Unity Alliance, the City of Winona, and the Diversity Foundation, the same partnership that puts on the Great Dakota Gathering and Homecoming every year in Winona.
Participants shared personal pain and anger, told family stories (sad and funny), chronicled their path to greater understanding, gave mini-lectures to educate the audience, expressed appreciation for progress, and raised issues that still need addressing.
