Organizing: Creating Relationships for Transformational Change

EHST will re-broadcast a presentation made to the  Baltimore Ethical Society.  Terrell Williams’ story is one we should hear and celebrate.  Here is the writeup from the BES website:

We will begin the process of community change by listening to create opportunities for transformational real outcomes. We will use our most radical tool to understand why people want change and what are the fundamental characteristics that are necessary to organize to begin the transformational process (Help).Terrell Williams was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri in a place called Cochran Gardens which is a very violent community one mile from the Arch in downtown St. Louis. He attended college at the University of Kansas and later received a bachelor’s degree in Government Public Policy from the University of Baltimore, a master’s in Special and Elementary Education and post certification in Administration and Supervision. He was a retail executive for twenty years and an educator in the Baltimore City School system as Pride coordinator, which is a structured program inside the school system that helped our most violent students with emotional disabilities. Terrell was also an adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University with Teach for America. He is currently an associate organizer with BUILD (Baltimoreans United In Leadership Development), and Co-director of TurnAround Tuesday – a jobs movement that seeks living wage employment for under-employed and returning citizens while developing civic leaders.
