Class Description
As people seeking justice and peace, can we be mindful, faithful, and honest as we approach the 2024 election in times of such discord and mistrust? How do we look squarely at our history of voting injustice and challenge it in ways that move us closer to equity? What are the justice issues that matter most today for Black Americans? What consequences/outcomes hang in the balance at local, state, and national levels? How do we turn from a mindset of “vanquish the enemy” to one of integrity and respect that focuses on what we are for, rather than what we are against?
This course will explore these questions with the help of experienced and knowledgeable Black leaders. They, along with mindfulness practices, readings and sharing with one another will help us define what is ours to do and come to this fraught moment in full usefulness and humanity.
