What is systemic racism? It is the policies and practices that foster the disparity in health care, education, living wages, affordable housing, even access to healthy food (read about “food deserts”).
Why racial justice? Black people are disprportionately arrested; juries find Black people guilty disproportionately; judges give Black people disproportionately longer sentences.
We are all God's beloved children. We can no longer sit in silence while our brothers and sisters suffer.
Celebrate the life and ministry of African American abolitionist and priest Blessed Absalom Jones at Nativity Cathedral on Sunday, February 27 at 5 PM. The service will also be live streamed on the Diocesan's You Tube page.
