"Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced". ~ James Baldwin

Have you heard of the Duluth lynchings? Did you know there is a memorial about the lynchings? 

I had not heard about the lynchings until they were referenced during Dr Boyd's presentation. And I certainly knew nothing about the memorial. If your knowledge level on this topic is like mine, you will really learn a lot from this presentation, "Bringing the Truth to Light".  Kim Green, Broad Member of the Clayton Jackson McGhie Memorial, will share information about the lynchings and the formation of the Clayton Jackson McGhie Memorial. Their mission is to foster racial justice and promote healing and reconciliation in our community.   https://claytonjacksonmcghie.org/
