Cone: “The blood of black people is crying out to God and to white people from the ground in the USA.” From the slave ships, to the streets today: “The cry of black blood that I heard in Detroit more than 50 years ago is still crying out all over America today.

And we WILL be free. Once people resist, they never stop. Resistance births hope. Hope pushes people forward and makes them believe nothing is impossible. As King said, we must learn to live together as human beings, treating one another with dignity and respect...

The Feast of the Visitation celebrates the sisterhood of 2 pregnant women joined by faith in the God of the impossible. Mary’s insight into her part in the unfolding of God’s promises is joined by a radical vision of social reversal: victory to the poor! defeat for their enemies!

The image of an armed white man kneeling on the neck of a captive black man as he calls out "I can't breathe" and "Please let me stand up" encapsulates a story going back to the original slave ships of the Middle Passage. His passion bears all the weight of that larger story.
