Hey folks! It's been months in the making and now it's time. . . Join us for a two-day event: Thursday April 9 (@Fordham Lincoln Center) and Friday April 10 (at the Rose Hill Campus in the Bronx) for a series of conversations on Sinners. We'll be joined by my friend and colleague @racquelgates from Columbia University. All events are free and open to the public and there will be food, just RSVP for the day you can attend. Looking forward to seeing you there!

My favorite picture of MLK, here with his sister Christine Farris on their graduations from Morehouse and Spelman in 1948. Today, I reflect on reclaiming King as a spiritual force (fully human and fully Divine), who aligned with countless others to channel their own power into collective good. Let me, let us remember who and what we are. ❤️
See this great piece by Susan Smith Richardson which includes a brief quote from me:
