(Photo by Michael Sheeler)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Fabrice Guerrier, a native of Haiti and 2015 graduate of CJP, has been involved with CTTT since hearing board president Phoebe Kilby GC &#8217;04, a white woman, share the story of connecting with her cousin, Betty Kilby Baldwin, an African-American woman descended from slaves owned by Phoebe Kilby\u2019s family.<\/p>\n<p>Guerrier felt an instant connection to their story: he had grown up trying to understand the political and social legacies of slavery within his Haitian homeland, where former African slaves and free-colored men and women had risen against the French colonial empire in Saint Domingue to create the first independent black nation where all people, of all colors, were granted freedom and full citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>With the knowledge that \u201cthe legacies of the transatlantic slave trade continue to impact billions of people around the world in many nations,\u201d Guerrier helped found a Shenandoah Valley Local chapter of CTTT in 2014.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px\">When I heard of descendants of the enslaved and enslavers connected through slavery coming together to dialogue around the difficult issues of race and healing and address the legacies of slavery in the United States, it struck me as this revolutionary idea that can truly save the soul of America \u2026 CTTT shows us that as a nation, our futures and our lives are inextricably bonded together. That history and its inter-generational wounds deeply affect the lives of many, whether we choose to recognize it or deny the moral responsibility we each carry set by those who came before us. I truly believe that when people begin to engage in deep dialogue, we start to unpeel the many layers that divide us from each other. This important process calls for moral imagination and a healthy dose of realism.<\/p>\n<p>Guerrier points to CTTT\u2019s partnership with the Kellogg Foundation\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wkkf.org\/what-we-do\/racial-equity\/truth-racial-healing-transformation\">National Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation enterprise<\/a> as one sign that the growing organization and its members, with work rooted in concepts of trauma awareness and resilience and restorative justice, are contributing to a larger national conversation.

On multiple levels the Caribbean set the roadmap for how American slavery would function and the legacy we have today.<\/p>\n<p>Noting that the work of CTTT is \u201ccollective\u201d in nature, Geddes also points out that the leadership role is \u201can opportunity as young people for us to support the expansion of CTTT\u2019s mission through an intergenerational lens to decolonize language and structures that be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She hopes for a broader establishment of CTTT chapters among more youth, on college campuses, in the Midwest and \u201cacross the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32238\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32238\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2017\/03\/cjp-alumni-join-coming-table-leadership-racial-healing-work-expands-nationwide\/cttt-inset-3-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-32238\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-32238\" src=\"\/\/emu.edu\/now\/is\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2017\/03\/CTTT-inset-3-300x182.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2017\/03\/CTTT-inset-3-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2017\/03\/CTTT-inset-3.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32238\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Participants in Coming To The Table&#8217;s tenth anniversary national gathering in June 2016 on the EMU campus.
