  • Deluxe: Fifty Years Later - Dothan's 1972 Unity Reunion

    Deluxe: Fifty Years Later - Dothan's 1972 Unity Reunion
    Sep 27 2024
    Chuck Reece tells the story of the Dothan High School graduating class of 1972, the first integrated class in the history of Dothan, Alabama. Fifty years ago, Dothan High students did their best to navigate a social environment defined by segregationist Governor George Wallace, and profound racial tension. Fifty years later, two friends and alumni, a black student and a white student, came up with a plan to try to treat these long festering wounds, in the form of what they called a Unity Reunion. The result shows the power of what good faith, accountability and honest dialogue can do to heal even our deepest traumas.
