Last week, local reporter Shawn Gibson looks back at how covering various events in the city has shaped his viewpoint on a myriad of issues. And oftentimes that means being put in an uncomfortable position. 

"We’re all learning about a changing world together and the only way to do it is without allegiance to your political party making your decisions for you," Gibson says. "The 'far right' and 'far left' are becoming the most detrimental aspects of the healing conversation. I’ve learned that meeting in the middle, listening and discussing, is the only way to make change happen"
