Rob and Susan CorcoranSince 1990, Rob and Susan Corcoran have worked with a project called Hope in the Cities in Richmond, Virginia. Rob Corcoran explains that the “Richmond story matters because real dialogue, real healing, and real partnerships are happening daily in a city most thought could never change. Richmond matters because it is the first city in the United States to publicly, formally, and inclusively acknowledge its traumatic racial history. Richmond matters because societies everywhere are confronted with the need for reconciliation between communities traumatized by histories of racial, ethnic, or religious division as well as economic disparity." Rob Corcoran is National Director of Initiatives of Change, USA, which is associated with Initiatives for Change, International. The international organization is “a non-governmental organization (NGO) working for peace, reconciliation, and human security worldwide” and consultant to the U.N. Rob Corcoran is the author of Trustbuilding.
