This past summer the Boston Busing/Desegregation Project had the honor of having international truth project expert Eduardo Gonzalez of the International Center for Transitional Justice speak to the Learning Network about Truth seeking projects. BBDP was inspired by truth-seeking processes around the world. We believe the Learning Network must learn about these processes in order to design one that works for Boston and for looking at the busing/desegregation era.
In his informative and fascinating talk and Q&A, Mr. Gonzalez addressed questions like: What is truth-seeking? Is it ever possible to “reach the truth” about social events? How do you achieve the truth in a social initiative? What is a truth commission? We invite you to listen to this talk and invite your questions and comments about it.
