Webinar: Breaking the Cycle of Racism: Thinking Beyond the Protest

Protest sparked by acts of violence against black bodies is as old as the violence perpetrated.

  • What is keeping us from moving forward into true, racial justice?
  • What can we do to break the cycle?
  • How can we harness the current momentum to bring about real, lasting change?

 

Join Andre Henry, program manager for CSA’s Racial Justice Institute, and Micky ScottBey Jones, CSA’s Racial Justice Fellow, for a 1-hour conversation about shifting narratives, the role of power in the struggle for racial justice, and the kinds of interventions we can stage to break the cycle of racism.

By Michael Stalcup

This poem was originally published in Sojourners Magazine, inspired by James Cone’s book, The Cross and the Lynching Tree.

by fellow men created in God’s image,
turned terrorists, enslaved to sin’s strange fruit.
