On 2-4-2021, I hosted and moderated a conversation. The participants in this conversation were all connected to the history and legacy of the Lemon Street Schools. The Lemon Street Schools were segregated schools for Cobb County Blacks. When integration closed the schools and absorbed them into the Marietta City School district, a lot of people were hurt. A lot of their legacy was suppressed, ignored and marginalized … but still they rise. That resilient spirit has been evident in all the conversations that we had … the recent one, and the ones previous to that. What may not be as evident is how this conversation models the type of sensitive inclusion that will help us all do life in an understanding way. See, I've been having this beautiful restorative conversation with the Lemon Street community for months now. I hold the conversations as sacred because of the way they have inspired me. These folks have helped me breathe again … and I don't want to disturb that groove at all. I wanna keep it all to myself. But there are bigger fish to fry … there's a bigger picture to paint. So you have to open this conversation to others ...
