Black History Month
Black History Month 2021
“No one can say anymore, ‘This does not concern me.’
” Imitate Christ by becoming neighbor
to every man, and woman.”
Pope Francis to Ursulines
We are taking our call to be neighbor to every man and woman very seriously. Right now we are faced with tragic injustices to people of color. We must do our homework, listen, ponder and take action. To that end we will be posting resources here:
- White privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack
by Peggy McIntosh - Black in America: I am tired by Joseph Brown
- The Church must make reparation for its role in slavery, segregation
by Shannon Dee Williams - Privilege/Class/Social Inequities

- How Can We Win by Kimberly Jones (this one is hard to watch but the insights are important)

- Trevor Noah Video: George Floyd, Minneapolis Protests, Ahmaud Arbery, Amy Cooper
- “Racism is the temptation white people have yet to overcome”
