Honoring the voices of all and moving to a better future, 18 Mar 2010
By Michael Benefiel "Persuasive Information" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trustbuilding: An Honest Conversation on Race, Reconciliation, and Responsibility (Hardcover)
Bob Corcoran spoke to an audience at Johns Hopkins University School for Advanced International Studies (1740 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Washington, DC) on Tues. March 9, 2010. The Conflict Prevention & Resolution Forum organized "Conflict in Our Own Backyard: Prospects for Racial Reconciliation." I listened carefully as he reported the work of Hope in the Cities - honest conversation and sustained partnerships across boundaries that often separate us from one another. The author and his courageous and inspiring co-leaders at Initiatives of Change have brought racial healing in Richmond, Virginia. Since Richmond was a major slave market, the capital of the Confederate States of America, and a center of "Massive Resistance" to the Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954, which ended the "separate but equal" injustice in U.S. education, this record of achievement confounds skeptics. I find his historical narrative almost flawless and am inspired by his chapters 16-20, which summarize lessons learned and practical tools and skills for staying at the table during painful conversations. I will close this rave with one truth Bob retells: forgiving is not forgetting; it is letting go of the hurt. (p. 262).

Richmond inspiration, 8 April 2010
By Mr. Michael Henderson "Optimistic Realist" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trustbuilding: An Honest Conversation on Race, Reconciliation, and Responsibility (Hardcover)
What a wonderful resource and inspiration for anyone wanting to build better community relations. A host of stories that show what can be done as we accept responsibilty for ourselves and people like us rather than blaming or pointing the finger at others. As someone who lived for a year in Richmond I am amazed at what is being achieved.

Truly Inspirational and Educational - A Must Read, 1 July 2010
By Jack Reiserer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trustbuilding: An Honest Conversation on Race, Reconciliation, and Responsibility (Hardcover)
A must read for anyone interested in learning more about community development and how best to foster positive change through intelligent dialogue. We can all learn a great deal and draw a tremendous amount of inspiration from the lessons to be learned from this book. Should be required reading for all community leaders. I can only hope that my city would look to Richmond's growth and begin to implement similar change in my community.
