*After the webinar hosted by PRRI with Dr. Jemar Tisby, there's another on religious extremism hosted by Friends of Sabeel North America (FOSNA), "Religious Extremism: Zionism & Antisemitism," Wed, 2/28, https://www.fosna.org/events/challengingapartheid2
I'm encouraged with Dr. Jemar Tisby's hopeful call to action: "Racism may adapt, but resistance always rises up."
Celebrating BHM's official theme on Leap Day...or 365 Black History is Our History:
Daryl Davis featured. Ayan Sheikh & Tyrone Turner, "One Local Black Musician’s Campaign to Change the Minds of White Supremacists," WAMU, Feb 29, 2024, https://wamu.org/story/24/02/29/one-local-black-musicians-campaign-to-change-the-minds-of-white-supremacists/
Themes! Thanks for the info! I wish faith organizations also led with hosting heritage months including highlighting diverse mothers & fathers of faith, faith history, & theology-including the lineage of Jesus of Nazareth--biological & adoptive. I hope for more voices within Bible translation--who's in/excluded (translating Song of Songs 1:5 as "Black but/yet beautiful" or NASB2020 text, "Black AND beautiful." https://biblehub.com/songs/1-5.htm (Dr. Esau McCaulley, , https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2019/09/23/why-it-matters-if-your-bible-was-translated-by-racially-diverse-group/; Dr. Nathan Luis Caragena,, https://www.worldoutspoken.com/articles-blog/is-your-bible-anti-black)
