An image of people at a protest holding a sign that says, "WE WHO BELIEVE IN FREEDOM CANNOT REST" - Ella Baker. To the right a quote by Fannie Lou Hamer that says, "Nobody's free until everybody's free."

"We are controlled here by our confusion, far more than we know. And the American Dream has therefore become something much more closely resembling a nightmare on the private, domestic, and international levels. Privately, we cannot stand our lives, and dare not examine them. Domestically, we take no responsibility for, and no pride in what goes on in our country. And internationally, for many millions of people, we are an unmitigated disaster." -James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time (1963)

I highly recommend The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin. His words on racial injustice, white supremacy/white liberalism, & Christianity are relevant, concise, & thought-provoking. it's time to be present, be involved, & take the initiative to learn!
