In celebration and honor of African American History Month, I will not be sharing an article. Instead, I would encourage you to use this month to educate yourself and challenge yourself to know more. We are leaving space for silence, pain, confusion, frustration, and anger.

The Color Compromise by Jemar Tisby

“Any religion that professes to be concerned about the souls of men and is not concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them and the social conditions that cripple them is a spiritually moribund religion awaiting burial.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

Jewish teachers have combined multiple teachings from The Talmud (Rabbinic Jewish theological work) with Micah 6:8 into this quote:

“Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly now, love mercy now, walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.”

“Father forgive me for all the times I desired a seat at a table you would’ve flipped.” – Steven Price
