Woohoo! So excited for this discussion! My question is: Who was Thomas Jefferson referring to when he stated “all men” being created equal in the Declaration Of Independence? It’s been debated that it wasn’t referring to all human beings and that the Continental Congress was perhaps excluding black people as well as women. It’s even argued that “they didn’t intend it to mean individual equality. Rather, what they declared was that American colonists, as a people, had the same rights to self-government as other nations.” (Source: Standford article) I’d love to hear your thoughts on that!
Also, I could only tune in live for the first 45 minutes since I have birthday celebration plans for my husband. But I am so looking forward to it and will be praying for you brother as you prep.
Great question! We should only be about 45 minutes total, but the recording will be available afterwards. Thanks for making time and I hope you all have a wonderful birthday celebration!

As a white man what can I say or not say to my African American friends on the Fourth?
Good question. I'll try to address in the presentation.
Will this be recorded for subscribers who can't join live?
Yes! It will be available on my YouTube page and I'll share the recording in a newsletter.
Grateful!
