About this Event
Breaking Bread - Session One: Story of Love
An Evening of Fellowship, Story, and Healing
We invite you to join the Anderson Area Remembrance & Reconciliation Initiative for a unique community gathering, a night of breaking bread together in the spirit of reconciliation, storytelling, and the Beloved Community. This first session will be an evening featuring a powerful conversation with Courtland & John Wright, life long Andersonians as they talk about their family and the lives they are building in their home right here in Anderson, SC. Through this evening of fellowship, we’ll remember the power of the table, where breaking bread becomes an act of courage, connection, and collective healing.
This event is hosted by the Anderson Area Remembrance & Reconciliation Initiative (AAR&RI), a movement of concerned individuals in Anderson County with two primary purposes. One is to honor the memory of five documented victims of racial lynching in Anderson County in the period between 1894 and 1911 by participating in the Community Remembrance Project of the Equal Justice Initiative. The other is through dialogue, education, and fellowship to move our community toward reconciliation and elimination of racial disparities and the realization of “Beloved Community” as described by The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King.
