The Beloved Organizing, Healing, and Training Institute (BOTHI)
Try to imagine a Greensboro where we have greatly reduced or even eradicated the hierarchy of human value that undergirds racism and all forms of abuse. Imagine a Greensboro where we learn to value the dignity, worth and potential of all. Imagine this community working together to ensure a decent standard of living. BOTHI is dedicated to training community building organizers. Training includes helping to heal the “soul” wounds and scars inflicted upon all of us growing out of our tortuous yesterdays, in particular people of color. Drawing from the best of our 50 continuous years of organizing in Greensboro and across the nation, our process involves blending the wisdom gleaned in our yesterday with the beautiful, new, militant, and creative energies growing out of the struggles of today to systematically share the learnings with communities, sectors, and cities to forge better tomorrows.
