We had a lovely Testimonial in about one person’s experience
When [We Shall Overcome] came on she just started singing along with it and just… it was really powerful to see a strong memory triggered. That also brought out other people’s stories of war and family. People who don’t usually talk began talking.SUSAN DYAR
