Hear, hear to a great woman – Berneta Peoples

I had the privilege of working with Bernita Peoples from 2003- the end of 2005.

She is a true treasure and a wealth of knowledge. And at 96 she’s contemplating retirement – again.

Take 20 minutes today and listen to this wonderful story of building relationships with your (sometimes perceived) enemies…

It reminds me of another story I’ve shared before. Once you listen you’ll understand.

From Snap Judgement:

Daryl Davis is a boogie woogie pianist who’s played with Bill Clinton, Bruce Hornsby, and Chuck Berry. But we wanted to talk to him about another group of friends of his.

Daryl Davis wrote a book about his experiences with the Klan in a book called “Klandestine Relationships.”

I’ve added Davis’ book to my Wishlist (hint, hint).

And if you have a little more time today – watch this 20 minute documentary by Jim Krimsky on Vimeo.
