Earlier this year, as part of Storycorps One Small Step, KSUT began asking one simple question: Do you believe we have more in common than what divides us?
Residents from all around the Four Corners have been participating in One Small Step conversations, and now it’s time to hear them. Our participants signed-up for a project that pairs strangers with different political leanings to connect for a simple, personal, 50-minute conversation — and we want to share with you what we've found.
Some participant testimonials:
One Small Step opened my eyes to new viewpoints and pushed the boundaries of my beliefs. It was an experience I will never forget. – Hannah Minkler, Durango
After our conversation, my One Small Step partner reached out and asked to have coffee with me. I look forward to an ongoing relationship with someone who is quite different from me. I think we can both learn from each other. - Chuck McAfee, Cortez
This was a rare opportunity to talk calmly about divisive issues. And we always found some areas of common ground. - Sidny Zink, Durango
My partner and I are so different, yet so similar....I'm grateful for this experience of shared humanity and hope. - Kim Moriyama, Ridgway
