If you are able check the Summer issue of Fuller magazine published by Fuller Theological Seminary. The issue focuses on justice. I highly recommend the interview with singer-songwriter Andre Henry, author of ALL THE WHITE FRIENDS I COULDN’T KEEP. Andre speaks about non-violence and the metaphor of the relay race in effective social movements.

Yes! Andre is an insightful brother. We've done a couple online events together. Love his focus on faith and ACTIVISM!

Hope Congressman Thompson is in it--he's been masterful! And reparations for descendants of this seized ocean view property in Manhattan Beach was long overdue. Would be worth many millions by now. https://www.gov.ca.gov/2021/09/30/moving-to-right-historical-wrong-governor-newsom-signs-legislation-to-return-bruces-beach-to-black-descendants/

Yay! Can't wait to hear more. I have a good friend who is a white Evangelical and a graduate of Grove City and just taught a class on racial justice. Can't wait to tell him about his beloved alma mater! :--)

Same! Having written a book is a lot easier than actually writing a book. LOL
