What a remarkable story about a woman of God and another "hidden figure" in history!

I'd heard the story about MLK struck by a young woman's usage of "I have a dream," and asking to borrow it, but I'd forgotten who this was. What an inspiring person, Prathia Hall! After reading this, the realization that "politics and religion are integrated" is penetrating further into my depths, making me wonder how I could have ever thought otherwise.

Thank you Jemar! I've not heard of Prathia Hall before. I have your book, Spirit of Justice but just haven't gotten as far as reading it yet! Thank you for all your teaching and sharing here, I need it!

Like Susie (above), I have the book but haven’t yet read it. Thank you for introducing us to another person whose life and faith compels us to learn from and follow her example. God grant us Prathia Hall’s kind of courage!
