Black History Month
|
We look back in disbelief at American slavery. How could they have been so wrong? We look back in disbelief at Jim Crow. How could they have been so wrong? We look back in disbelief at lynching. How could they have been so wrong? Yes, and what are we missing today as we go about our own business that years later it will be said of us, How could they have been so wrong?
The answer: We didn’t vote to study REPARATIONS when H.R. 40 came before the House of Representatives every year since 1989. --RevRick |

There’s some poetry for you, no? You gotta love these churches and the ministers that founded them! The names adorn the facades of urban storefront churches, to be seen in the poorest African-American neighborhoods of almost any U.S. city. Their spiritual roots go back to the rural South of slavery times and came with them in the great migration to the northern cities.
This Sunday in Black History Month, we will meditate on this poetry and ask what we hear and what we learn from our Christian brothers and sisters.
