Episode 9- A Pastoral Response to the Anti-CRT Crusade
When people try to block racial justice efforts, we tend to respond intellectually. We come up with arguments and rebuttals. But what's happening with racism is not just a battle against lies and misinformation, it is a spiritual struggle that requires a spiritual response.
How should we think about and respond to the anti-CRT crusade through the lens of Scripture and the life of Jesus Christ? How do we relate to people who want to deny the truth of our racial history and get in the way of efforts at racial justice? What can we learn from the teachings of Christianity about resisting racism?
Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis, Senior Minister of the historic Middle Collegiate Church, offers us her wisdom. Follow her at @RevJacquiLewis
Episode 10- “How to Protest Against the Anti-CRT Crusade” with André Henry
If this is the civil rights movement of our day, then we have to utilize some of the tactics of the movement in the 1950s and 1960s. It's not enough simply to know about the anti-CRT crusade. We have to do something about it. We have to resist.
But what can one person or a small group of people do in the face of such a widespread and coordinated movement? People concerned about racial justice have fought against steeper odds. They used the tactics of direct action, nonviolent protest to instigate change.
Andre Henry, artist/activist and author of To All the White Friends I Couldn't Keep, offers practical ways to protest against racism. Follow him at andrehenry.co
