Hill guides participants through a transformative approach to history — one rooted not in division or trauma alone, but in healing, deep relational understanding, and the wisdom of cooperation that has defined humanity for millions of years.

Seats are limited for this interactive evening on Wednesday, Nov. 12 in Woolsey, Room 141 @ 5pm. To RSVP, email becomingteachers@wichita.edu.
