What happens when a White woman, Phoebe, contacts a Black woman, Betty, saying she suspects they are connected through slavery? Open to exploring difficult truths and sharing an admiration for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., they embark on a path toward reconciliation.Each tells her dramatic story – from Betty’s experience desegregating a segregated high school, to Phoebe’s eventual question to Betty: How do I begin to repair the harms?
Phoebe Kilby is White. Betty Kilby Baldwin is Black. Kilby’s family’s ancestors once enslaved the ancestors of Kilby Baldwin’s family. Together, they have committed to a path of reconciliation which includes a working reparations project they conceived together.
Phoebe Kilby and Betty Kilby Baldwin will tell their story in Carlisle, at the Carlisle United Methodist Church on April 30 at 7:00 pm. The event will include a book signing by the authors afterwards.
This event is free and open to the public. Moving Circles will gladly accept free will donations at the door.
