The Truth Telling Project was started by David Ragland in November 2014 in the wake of the Ferguson riots. It was "inspired by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of South Africa," which was headed by Archbishop Desmond Tutu.[1] [2]
The Truth Telling Project is a not-for-profit organization under the sponsorship of the NEIU Foundation.
Mission
According to their website, the Truth Telling Project "implements and sustains grassroots, community-centered truth-telling processes to share local voices, to educate America, and to support reconciliation for the purposes of eliminating structural violence and systemic racism against Black people in the United States."[3]
