Harvard Law School professor Martha Minow identifies a tension that every society must confront in the aftermath of political violence and oppression: “too much memory and too much forgetting.”
She contends both ends of this spectrum hold the potential to derail the possibility of forging a just and shared future. In this webinar, Minow and moderator Dr. Duncan Morrow will hold a public conversation about what it means to face the past, how to find the balance between acknowledgement and taking responsibility for injustice, while - at the same time - turning toward the possibility of transformation and social healing.
