Truth Forever on the Scaffold

Truth forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne. So penned James Russell Lowell, Cantabrigian, abolitionist, and poet in his poem The Present Crisis (1845), a reminder that our present crisis is not sui generis, but rather an expression and exposure of what remains deeply, darkly true of the United States of America: our original sin of racism persists. Its cruel existence causes untold harm to Black bodies, Black lives, Black families.

A Little Free Library with a Mission

This summer, as many Old Southers took to the streets in protest and solidarity, one of our Old South families teamed up with neighbors to create a Little Free Library (LFL) in their West Roxbury neighborhood! Kristen Lee-Armandt was inspired in particular by an Anti-Racist LFL that she saw being started in Arlington. She points out that West Roxbury is 77% white, and so will continually need access to anti-racist resources if the hope of an anti-racist reality is to come about.

Anti-Racism Resources for White Christians

It is the responsibility of white people to educate themselves about racism and how they can actively become anti-racist. We've compiled a list of resources to get started.

Joia's Reflection

This selective forgetting of the past. Opening a way for my future. This is the legacy of slavery and the white supremist doctrine that justified it. This is my search for identity and honoring my past.

As the Journey Continues...Do You Hear the Screams? Part II

I had almost forgotten it. It was a Blog that I wrote in May, 2012. A good friend recently uncovered a copy in her office and gave it to me. As I reread it, I realized that a follow up piece was long overdue.
