Well, Friday the 13th certainly made a nuisance of itself: doling out technical glitches galore and delaying today's post by 24 hours! Thanks for your patience.
Dear Friend,
How do we, as individuals, confront and grow past the legacies of 1619 in our own lives? I spoke with Dr. Karinn Glover, MD—Professor of Psychiatry at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Mindfulness Coach. "For people who have had traumatic experiences," says Dr. Glover, "I help them to figure out their story and to put together their narrative because putting experiences to words is healing."
And, how can we help children manage the pressures they are forced to endure? Age-old Africans tell the tale of "Mother Lion and Her Cubs."
ABOUT THE LATTER END OF AUGUST is an original 'Janus Adams' series commemorating the arrival of the first Africans bound for slavery in America "about the latter end of August" 1619, and celebrating 400 years of the African American Experience. Thirty daily posts explore history’s myths, inconvenient truths, and delightful surprises. With courage and conscience, we journey from History to Healing and Hope.
