TOPEKA -Kansas Governor Sam Brownback issued a proclamation declaring this a “A Week of Reconciliation”.

“As we approach the holiday season, we are once again reminded of the power of forgiveness and the joy of reconciliation,” said Governor Brownback. “I encourage all Kansans to find the strength to build a path to reconciliation this Thanksgiving week.”

The proclamation recognizes that while our nation may face many challenges and trials, reconciliation offers hope for a better future.

“It is my hope that Kansans will recall the words of Dr. Marin Luther King, Jr. who said ‘forgiveness is a catalyst creating the atmosphere necessary for a fresh start and a new beginning’,” the Governor said.
