Healing
Healing is a subject that many individuals do not readily recognize in the conversation of the U.S. institution of slavery. Coming to the Table realizes its importance and necessity and is dedicated to communicating this to all individuals interested in positively discussing slavery. The stories featured in the Healing section are about those who have undergone healing in their own lives and who seek to share its power with others.

From the time we exit the womb until the time we enter the sands we begin to construct our personal narrative. In between these two points a multitude of stories are created, some are significant enough for us to remember and tell over and over again and others are just small remnants of our day to day lives.
