about

“He who tells the stories rules the world.” Hopi proverb

On June 17, 2015, nine black Americans were murdered during a Bible study at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C. A young white man named Dylann Storm Roof killed them because he believes that “Blacks are taking over the world and someone has to do something about it for the white race.”

In the aftermath of this tragedy, this insanity – two questions come to the forefront: why did it happen and what can I, can we, do to prevent racial violence, bridge the divide, and heal with Jon Stewart calls “our gaping racial wound?” In this program I consider the connection between mythology, images of the Other, and “Us versus Them” thinking, and the opportunity that myth and story work offers each of us to be part of a life-affirming culture and just society.
