George Thompson will be our special guest on Tuesday, February 25, for our Lunch & Learn series.
George grew up in St. Louis and moved to Rochester in 1968, during tumultuous years of the Civil Rights Movement, to work at IBM. At the time, George was one of very few Black men in the region. Over 55 years later, George has many stories from decades of his life and leadership in southeastern Minnesota, where he has always sought to serve and to create community.
George believes that when we understand each other and our differences, we have the best foundation for a strong community. His presentation, “An Hour in My Shoes,” will explore his experiences as a Black husband, father, friend, business man, and leader in southeastern Minnesota. He will offer stories and perspectives as a truly remarkable family man, neighbor, and leader.
Doors open at 11. Separate goodwill offerings will be collected upon entry for lunch and for our speaker. For more information and to register, visit www.goodearthvillage.org/lunchandlearn
