EventsThe Mandela Picnic 2019: Truth and Reconciliation in EducationNAACP-Lincoln chapter and Nebraskans for Peace and UCL are co-sponsoring a picnic in honor of Nelson Mandela, peacemaker and worker for racial justice. This year the event will be held on October 19 from 5:15-7:15PM at the Unitarian Church of Lincoln, 6300 A Street, near the anniversary of Nelson Mandela’s first reception of the Nobel Prize for Peace.
We will begin preliminary moves toward truth and l reconciliation in the Lincoln area through a picnic and discussion of education. The NAACP and NFP in Lincoln are writing proposals for a longer term examination of what we have done and what we can do to remedy past errors. We wish to start our work by examining what education has done to people forced to the margins, to ask the audience at the event to help us formulate our proposals for remedy. What should we study? Who should be involved? Aging Persons Support Group
