Henson<\/a> and Sam Rockwell, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/parenting\/children\/instant-family-the-true-story-behind-the-inspiring-new\/\">tells the story<\/a> of how an unlikely friendship developed between Ann Atwater, an African American activist, and C.P. Ellis, a Ku Klux Klan leader.<\/p>\n<p>A charette\u2014a meeting in which all members of a community get to vote on the outcome of an issue\u2014sparked Ellis and Atwater&#8217;s friendship. In 1971, the city of Durham held a charette to determine whether Durham schools would desegregate.<\/p>\n<p>Bill Riddick, who \u00adran a consulting firm and had successfully facilitated several charettes in other communities, was the organizer who brought Ellis and Atwater together. Riddick chose Atwater and Ellis to co-chair the charette because of their leadership roles in Durham. The charette lasted ten days and at the final meeting Ellis tore up his KKK membership card and voted to desegregate Durham. Ellis and Atwater remained friends for the rest of their lives. Atwater even delivered the eulogy at his funeral.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Riddick was surprised by the outcome, but in the years since, he has come to <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/entertainment\/music\/lauren-daigle-god-showed-me-my-future\/\">credit a higher power<\/a> with what happened in Durham during those 10 days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cForty-eight years ago I really thought it was me,\u201d Riddick told <em>Guideposts.org. <\/em>\u201cAs I have become more God-fearing and have worked harder in church the last 20 years, I realize that the Lord gave me a grace and helped me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Riddick believes Atwater, a devout Christian, had a much better sense of God\u2019s presence in their midst.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn&#8217;t realize when we got started that Ann was extremely religious,\u201d Riddick said. \u201cBut now I look back at it, she had a lot more sense than I had about what she was doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the friendship between Ellis and Atwater became the subject of a book, play and now, a movie, Riddick moved on, continuing his work in other communities and working in student health at the University of North Carolina. He didn\u2019t see the pair again until nearly two decades after the charette.<\/p>\n<p>Now 81 years old, Riddick\u2019s role in the story is finally coming to light, and he was able to offer guidance and input on the film, consulting with Babou Ceesay, the actor who plays him in the movie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is strange to see somebody playing you,\u201d Riddick said. \u201cBut I had the opportunity to talk to him during the film. He took my notes and changed his style. He came as close as I could come to being myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The movie focuses on the relationship between Ellis and Atwater and the transformation both of them undertook. But Riddick <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/parenting\/teenagers\/what-does-let-go-and-let-god-really-mean\/\">also had to change<\/a> in order to successfully facilitate the charette.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had as much bias as they had,\u201d Riddick said. \u201cObviously my bias with [Ellis] is easy to sort out. But I didn&#8217;t particularly like the way Ann looked at things. So the first thing I had to do was get rid of my own biases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Riddick vividly remembers a realization he had after the first day of discussions in Durham.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went home that night and said, \u2018I got the same problem that these two people got,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cAnd until I&#8217;m able to harness my own feelings and have greater respect for these individuals, then I&#8217;m not going to be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The experience changed the course of his life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom that day, I have tried to do that as a human being to accept every person for who they are,\u201d Riddick said. \u201cEven if we disagree, that doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;re a bad person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Best of Enemies <\/em>has given Riddick the chance to reflect on an experience that changed a city and many lives, including his own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;ve lived a long time. I didn&#8217;t recognize how fortunate I have been until I became a believer,\u201d Riddick said. \u201cI just thought I was smart and that I could do things. And I realize now that none of that was mine. And I&#8217;m so grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Best of Enemies, a new movie starring Taraji P.
