“We’re really proud of the
success of the 6th Annual St.
Jude Dream Home
Giveaway in Savannah,”
said Meagan Mowry of
Homes of Integrity. “We are
very appreciative of WSAV,
KIX96, The Savannah Bank,
Savannah Morning News,
volunteers, local businesses,
and local residents whose
generous support made this
event possible.”
The St. Jude Dream
Home sold 4,579 tickets and
over $457,900 was received
for research and treatment at
St. Jude Children’s Research
Hospital.
Founded by Danny
Thomas in 1962, St. Jude
Children’s Research
Hospital has treated more
than 20,000 young cancer
patients at no cost to their
families.
Tutu ..continued from page 1
that each of us have the poten
tial to treat each other inhu
manely.
“Without the truth we
cannot heal, have a shared
story, or celebrate the many
gifts that we have,” Tutu
declared. “The truth will set
you free,” she added.
According to Tutu,
Juneteenth is a way of sharing
stories; “your story and my
story.” “We can have real cel
ebrations when they are about
overcoming years of hiding
and denial,” she noted.
Tutu said that one main
reason many ethnic and reli
gious groups continue to fight
century after century is the
cycle of victimization and an
unwillingness to come clean
with the truth. She said,
“When we are unwilling to
hear each others story or
ignore some part of history, the
wounds from that will never
heal.”
Tutu made the transition from
South Africa dealing with its
past to America’s need to deal
with its past.
She said this country has cho
sen to pick and choose which
history to teach. “We cannot
hide the story of slavery,
Native Americans, and the
internment of Japanese
Americans,” she said. “If we
do not tell the whole story, it
will come back to haunt us,”
she continued.
Tutu is the founder and chair
person of the Hartford,
Connecticut based, Tutu
Foundation for Development
and Relief in Southern Africa
created in 1985. She currently
serves as coordinator for the
Race Relations Institute at Fisk
University in Nashville,
Tennessee.
Tutu earned a Bachelors
degree in Economics & French
from Berea College in Berea,
Kentucky. Later, she earned a
Masters Degree in
International Economic
Development from Patterson
School of Diplomacy and
International Commerce at the
University of Kentucky. She
is also the mother of three chil
dren.
All Juneteenth celebra
tion activities are free and open
to the public.
