Full Circle 03-29-2024 Nex Benedict and May We Gather

Full Circle KPFA

Last week on Full Circle we covered a couple of local events. We heard voices from a gathering honoring Nex Benedict, the non binary youth from Oklahoma who died after an attack in their high school bathroom. Police are saying suicide, but others are waiting for a detailed report. We also heard from a healing ceremony held in Antioch ca, “May We Gather”, a national Buddhist ceremony for Asian American ancestors visited Antioch, the first city in the nation to officially apologize for the deliberate destruction of the city's Chinatown by european settlers in the area.
