"A corrupt hierarchy of racialized power [tragically still affects] the denial of justice. Perhaps now public attention will turn to that structure of injustice more than Carolyn’s escape from true accountability." --from Rev. Parker's memoir, critical context for today's news...

Remember all the things we said we learned during the pandemic? The need to focus on what matters? To slow down? To extend grace in the face of overwhelming uncertainty? Maybe it's time to reclaim those lessons. Take a step back. Remember, recenter, recommit.

Emmett Till should be 82 today.
His mother, Mamie Till-Mobley,
ensured that the world saw how gruesomely her 14 year-old child was murdered.
Racism isn’t disagreement.
Families grieve. Communities mourn.
Dreams wither. Humanity suffers.
People perish.
Remember Emmett Till.
