Race & Equity Conversation

The Justice Committee is going to start posting an article or a video more often (hopefully every week). So, we hope you will learn from them and grow in your mission to become more anti-racist.

This week, I am posting a video put out by FreedomRoad.us. It is about 1 hour 20 minutes. So, it is a bit long. However, it is a conversation between four leaders, teachers, and authors in the racial justice and reconciliation movement. These leaders include Dr. Brenda Salter McNeil who wrote Roadmap to Reconciliation 2.0 and her brand new book Becoming Brave, LaTasha Morrison who wrote Be The Bridge, Jemar Tisby who wrote The Color of Compromise, and Lisa Sharon Harper who wrote The Very Good Gospel.

Their conversation includes topics such as their own stories of racial injustices, the work they do and the struggles they face, reparations vs. reconciliation, Black Lives Matter, the next generation, and church and politics. Like I said, it is a bit long, but it is power-packed. We can all learn from leaders such as these. Their hearts are towards helping to get the message out and advocate for systemic changes.
