Thank you so much Lou. I am preparing an input for student teachers and am drawing on All About Love by bell on this, I am also going to ask the participants to read your piece because it is one of the best things I have ever read. I read a lot of Parker J Palmer also but was unaware of the ongoing dialogue between bell and Parker. I did come across a recording of bell in conversation with john a. powell recently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sX7fqIU4gQ
I love the comment about Parker Palmer, Lou! As he is one my educational lights, like bell, it's a good story. Reading Wendell Berry's new book, The Need to be Whole, he engaged with bell (as fellow Kentuckians) over her understanding of his book on slavery, The Hidden Wound. This then somehow reauthorises Berry to do his work, which he also acknowledges as white work, and frees him to look at Southern slavery from a different stance. Thanks for this and sorry I couldn't get to the live thing!
