“Near Atlanta, on a spring day in 1990, I was outside, underneath a large tent with dozens of others seated at tables, each facing a telephone. I was six years old and when the call connected to a boy on the other end of the phone who sounded like he was my age. I had no other concept of who he was. I wasn’t sure what to ask him, but knew something important was happening because my parents were very excited. I learned the boy on the other side of the phone was from East Berlin. He spoke English with an accent, yet I could understand him clearly. Perhaps with some coaching, I asked him, ‘What’s different now where you live?’ ‘We can visit our family on the other side of the city,’ he answered.” (11/07/24)
