| The Emmy-nominated video documentary Ties
That Bind captures the conversations of seven Chicago women who joined
in an effort to discuss what unifies and divides us. These women are
leaders of their Jewish, Christian, Muslim, African-American, Hispanic
and Euro-American communities. Their experiences bear valuable lessons
for all of us.
Ties That Bind premiered in Barcelona at the Parliament of World’s Religions’ and UNESCO’s “Pathways to Peace” conference and has aired several times on Chicago’s PBS Television Station, WTTW11. Since then, a dozen town hall meetings have brought local diverse groups together. They have been hosted by organizations ranging from senior centers to high schools to houses of worship. The documentary is being used across America: at corporate diversity sessions at Exelon and Hyatt corporations, with high school students from the National Conference for Community and Justice’s “Youth in Diversity” Program, at major conferences like PBS’ National Center for Outreach and National Humanities Councils, and as an interfaith template for the Congress on Urban Ministry (SCUPE). 2005
