SUMMARY:Racial Justice Zoom Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Racial Justice \nWhat is Racial Justice\, you might ask. Didn’t we already address that with the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950’s and 60’s? Wasn’t that laid to rest with the Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.? What do you mean by “Black Lives Matter” don’t All Lives Matter? Jesus would have said\, “Yes\, all lives do matter”. But He did not reach out to all lives. His Disciples were common laborers and fishermen\, not rulers or religious leaders who held positions of wealth and power. His followers were tax collectors and prostitutes. These were the marginalized people that Jesus knew needed His teachings\, healings\, and love. They were the Black Lives Matter people of the first century. \nChrist “came that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly”\, John 10:10. In our society those who are living abundantly are predominately White. Economic resources\, education\, housing\, medical coverage\, and many other societal opportunities are not always accessible for people of color (POC). Generations upon generations have left POC out of the collective American pie. \nOur Racial Justice Discussion group meets the first Thursday of every month at 4:30 via Zoom (except in January we meet on the 14th). We talk about books\, podcasts\, music\, movies\, news articles and any other resources we encounter concerning Racial Justice. We are learning how to become comfortable with being uncomfortable. Questioning our status in society and opening our eyes to the realities faced by POC can be a little uncomfortable. There isn’t any guilt or blame tossed around\, only awareness and understanding. People join our monthly meetings when time allows. If you can’t make it on the 14th\, I will still send you the zoom link and maybe you can make February’s meeting. If this interests you\, please email me at dvackerman@gmail.com and I’ll add you to the group.
