Finding Common Ground | Alex Goldstein | TEDxUNCGreensboro

On November 3rd, 1979, Alex was present (along with about 50 to 100 other people), as preparations were underway for an anti-Klan demonstration and conference in Greensboro, NC. These efforts, however, were abruptly interrupted by bullets. This is Alex's story. Alex Goldstein grew up in Greensboro NC, surrounded by people who worked within the local community, in order to address and improve quality of life concerns collectively. For example, some of these concerns included safe working conditions and living wages. Various strategies were employed, including demonstrations and conferences. With varying perspectives of the event and the continuing need for learning and healing, a local Truth and Reconciliation Commission (GTRC) process was initiated around 1999. A concluding report was presented in 2006 with key findings. UNCG was one of many places that provided support for this project and another of many connections that Alex has with UNCG. He continues to reference his journey as he engages with others to address quality of life issues. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
