Where Were You and Where Are You?

Last updated on: August 26, 2015 at 8:45 am By Guest Contributor

Where were you on August 9, 2014 when you learned of the death of Michael Brown? Mike, an unarmed teenager walking down the streets of his neighborhood like many other young people his age on a hazy summer afternoon, without a care in the world. Michael Brown Jr., a son whose opportunities to matriculate through the trade school he had been accepted to, bled out into the streets on that hot August day, like water spilling from a cup knocked...

Forgiveness and Black Christianity in the Age of #BlackLivesMatter

Last updated on: August 19, 2015 at 4:21 pm By Kimberly Peeler-Ringer

One thing I will remember most about the past few years is the gnawing feeling of dread every time I log on to my computer or hit the power button on my television set, perpetually weary of the seemingly unending images of Black bodily injury and Black death. After the senseless killings of Trayvon Martin in Florida and Michael Brown in Missouri, a grassroots movement provided a space to put rage into action: Black Lives Matter. I am grateful...

Last updated on: August 14, 2015 at 6:32 am By Guest Contributor

This post is part of the Ferguson Reflection: One Year Later series. If you have a reflection on Ferguson, please share it with us at [email protected] I recently joined an “action” on the streets with several UMC pastors & friends of the UMC called for by a local pastor. I joined by invitation as I was on my way back to St. Louis for an event we’re doing this weekend (also by invitation). I, personally, don’t do travel activism as... Read more

#Ferguson Reflections: #MichaelBrown: Our Shining Black Prince

Last updated on: September 6, 2015 at 10:22 am By Guest Contributor

This post is part of the Ferguson Reflection: One Year Later series. If you have a reflection on Ferguson, please share it with us at [email protected] While he has never been far from my mind, this weekend’s trip to Ferguson vividly brought Michael Brown Jr. to my consciousness in a different way. Oddly, princes and icons also came to my mind. Generally, in the feudal system the primary place for a prince is to remind the people, the aristocracy, and... Read more

#Ferguson Reflections: “He Don’t Mean Sh*T To Us!”

Last updated on: August 13, 2015 at 10:49 am By Guest Contributor

This post is part of the Ferguson Reflection: One Year Later series. If you have a reflection on Ferguson, please share it with us at [email protected] Standing in front of the oft-restored memorial to Michael Brown Jr. (I think it is important to remember the Jr. because it reminds us he had a father who loved him very much), a distinction came to my mind. It was the distinction between Michael Brown Jr. being “just another n*gger” and Michael Brown being... Read more

The first is a simple one. The universe hinges on small seemingly insignificant words and doings. Because our nation will never be the same, the world will never be the same. Given our cultural,...
