The Minnesota Star Tribune earlier this month published an interview with OBI Director john a. powell about his new book, The Power of Bridging: How to Build a World Where We All Belong. “What bridging says is, ‘Let’s take the time to be curious about each other. It’s not saying we agree with each other. It’s not even saying we like each other. It’s saying it’s basic human dignity to have curiosity. We’re trying to see each other’s humanity," the article quotes Director powell as saying.
Separately, but on the same topic, you can listen to a KQED podcast interview with Director powell here. In it, powell discusses the opportunity to co-create structures which leave no group behind. “Can we bring in black people without pushing out white people? That’s the challenge,” he says.
