REFLECTIONS LISA D. DANIELS

Reggie

My first thoughts about Lisa D. Daniels were that she is one of the most selfless women I’ve met in my life. Her situation with her son ’ s killer is very unique and powerful, such a rare situation.

Ms. Daniels was the first speaker in the Salon series. She set the bar incredibly high. Watching the candidness and bravery in that space was humbling. Men expressed pain and frustration about a system intended to oppress. Ms. Daniels spoke an equal truth from both inside and outside the criminal injustice system. For 120 minutes inside Division 6 on a cold blustery evening in Chicago a micro-community of truth and restoration existed. I am grateful to have borne witness.

Thank you to Ms. Daniels and thanks to each Author in attendance.
