Few people have contributed more to building community than sociology professor and activist Amaha Sellassie. From co-founding the West Dayton Strong after school program to the Gem City Market, he can be found at the front of efforts to make Dayton an equitable and just place. But sometimes, that comes at a price. Here’s his covid commentary:
I AM because WE are. I am beginning to realize just how real this truth is.
This statement can be summed up in the Zulu word Ubuntu; it explains our fundamental human nature. Yet it took a pandemic, for me to realize the deeper meanings of this truth as we collectively float on this rock we call Earth.
