“I am not interested in most conversations about equality. To whom would you like to be equal, given a broken and morally bankrupt system? Do you want to be equal to the persons, forces, and systems which generate the very terms of your oppression? I am, however, interested in the weightier matters of law: justice and freedom. How can we act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly?”- Rev. Dr. Yolanda Pierce
Rev. Dr. Yolanda Pierce joins us to discuss how we can go beyond conversations of equality and address core structural issues of racism and injustice in the United States. Rev. Dr. Yolanda Pierce is a professor and the dean of Howard University School of Divinity. In the Divinity School’s 150-year history, she is the first woman to be named Dean. We’ll also discuss how to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy, the Black church in the Civil Rights Era and her upcoming book, “In My Grandmother’s House: Black Women, Faith, and the Stories We Inherit.”
