Black History Month, #4

The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality. –James Baldwin, “Notes on the House of Bondage,” The Nation, November 1, 1980

I thought of Baldwin’s words earlier today, when I read a post from my colleague, the Rev. Ashley Horan, who is doing fierce, loving resistance day after day in Minneapolis and still finds time to write. To live into this wisdom from one of the greatest US American thinkers and writers, I urge you to read Ashley’s post, public on Facebook.
