The historical trauma of the civil rights movement will be explored by “History. Culture. Trauma” podcast hosts Ingrid Cockhren and Mathew Portell this week, as they honor the birthday of slain civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and build on last week’s conversation about the generational impact of trauma.
Tune in at 1 p.m. PT, 4 p.m ET for Thursday’s podcast when Cockhren, CEO of PACEs Connection, and Portell, director of education and outreach, will examine the collective trauma the United States experienced during the civil rights era.
Collective trauma, which often goes unacknowledged, damages the basic fabric of society. It is also a crisis of meaning, according to research psychologist Gilad Herschberger of Reichman University in Herzliya, Israel.
“We’ll explore the collective trauma experienced during the end of racial segregation, and the importance of using the science of positive and adverse childhood experiences – PACEs science – to prevent, mitigate and heal historical trauma,” says Cockhren.
