Welcome to the Racial Justice Institute
Christians are called to be one in Christ (Galatians 3:28), not to erase the beautiful differences the Creator bestowed upon humanity, but to utterly destroy the hierarchies and domination that humans attach to those differences.
The Racial Justice Institute develops a variety of experiences (pilgrimages, discussions,
media, writing, video, etc.) that engage people of faith around issues of identity, history and
justice at the intersection of race as a social issue.

It should not be assumed.

Connecting With the Struggle: An Interview With Bryan Stevenson of "Just Mercy"
By Laura Coulter
Even 25 years ago, $500 wasn’t enough to hire a good ballistics expert. But that’s all the state of Alabama would cough up for Anthony Ray Hinton to prove that his gun wasn’t the one used in a 1985 double murder.
