Generational Activism
Protests sparked by the death of George Floyd saw an outpouring of people across the world demanding an end to police-involved shootings and an end to systemic racism---while COVID-19 continues. The protesters willingly took to the streets—and continue to do so—voicing their outrage. But we also saw how activism has evolved, with activists who are multicultural, predominantly younger and users of social media and technology... What does activism look like today and what are the differences and commonalities from movements in the past, and how can people involved move from protesting to effecting real visible change? -
Finding your Faith
Since the first cases of Covid 19 were identified in the US-- just four months ago, people of color have suffered the greatest number of infections and deaths. The global health pandemic, in turn, triggered a devastating economic blow to communities of color. And that grim backdrop was the context for the shocking on camera killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. In the month since Floyd's death, protestors have taken to the streets demanding justice that includes police reform and the dismantling of systemic racism. While many people of color are buoyed by the recent public support, they have also been buffeted by ongoing emotional trauma. Can they find healing and hope? And is there a critical role for religion and faith in this moment? -
Protests, Police and Hope for the Future
George Floyd’s life was snuffed out on the streets of Minneapolis, Armaud Arbery was gunned down on a Georgia road, and Breonna Taylor shot to death in her sleep. Millions have taken to the streets in multiracial worldwide protests declaring that Black Lives Matter. Celebrity athletes, corporations, and ordinary Americans are demanding police reforms and systemic solutions to racism. And then last week--more trauma - Rayshard Brooks died with 2 bullets to the back. Against this bloody backdrop, African Americans gather today to commemorate Juneteenth, the day the last enslaved people on these shores were declared free. But, as we look forward, is there real hope for the future?
