SUMMARY:How Should Societies Remember Their Sins?: A Zócalo Event Series\, Supported by The Mellon Foundation
DESCRIPTION:The Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel did not believe in collective guilt. Instead\, he asked for repair\, and for holding the post-World War II generation of Germans responsible “not for the past\, but for the way it remembers the past. And for what it does with the memory of the past.” Other societies and communities have taken up Wiesel’s call—at the national level\, South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Argentina’s efforts to prosecute Dirty War military leaders\, and at the local level\, movements like the Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission in North Carolina and land back efforts in the Pacific Northwest. What comes after we remember\, from apology and forgiveness to reparations and justice? \nRhetoric professor Andre E. Johnson\, the Monument Lab co-founder and artist Ken Lum\, and reparations leader Robin Rue Simmons join Zócalo and the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis to discuss what repair looks like\, and how different people and places have stumbled and succeeded in its pursuit. \nWe invite our in-person audience to continue the conversation with our speakers and each other at a post-event reception with complimentary drinks and small bites. \nREGISTER HERE!
