Everybody's Here




Usually the participants will write this blog. But they are so busy getting to know each other, I will do it today. The bus arrived around 2:30, and other members not long thereafter. Everybody has eaten well and found a good space to settle in for several days here at St. James Episcopal Church in Wilmington. It's been mostly get-to-know-each other games and talking in small groups about expectations for the Freedom Ride. There is a lot of excitement and everyone seems open to new ways of looking at things, to making new kinds of friends.
