On this episode of Salvation South Deluxe: Chuck tells the story of the Dothan High School graduating class of 1972, the first integrated class in the history of Dothan, Alabama.
Fifty years ago, Dothan High students did their best to navigate a social environment defined by Segregationist Governor George Wallace and profound racial tension. Fifty years later, two friends and alumni, a black student and a white student, came up with a plan to try to treat these long festering wounds, in the form of what they called a Unity Reunion. The result shows the power of what good faith, accountability and honest dialogue can do to heal even our deepest traumas.
In this episode of Salvation South Deluxe: Chuck Reece details the United States's brutal program of forcibly assimilating Native American children through boarding schools in the late 19th and early 20th century. He learns the historical context of this act of warfare; the lasting trauma it created; and the Native-led efforts to heal its generational wounds.
