THE WE STAND UNITED FORUM IS AN EXTENDED DISCUSSION OF RACE AND RELATIONSHIPS. A CONVERSATION ONE WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT WE WOULD STILL BE HAVING IN 2017. THURSDAY NIGHT A SMALL GROUP GATHERED AT THE EXPERIENCE CHURCH, AND SURPRISINGLY IT WAS A VERY DIVERSE TURN OUT. A PANEL OF FIVE SET OUT TO ANSWER SOME HARD QUESTIONS, NOT THE USUAL “COOKIE-CUTTER” RACE QUESTIONS. AT TIMES THE CONVERSATION GOT UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT NO ONE WAS ALLOWED TO SHY AWAY FROM THE TRUTH. THE GOAL WAS TO UNDERSTAND DIFFERENCES THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITIES OF PEOPLE REPRESENTED HERE IN MURFREESBORO.
