History Told Rightly

Last updated on: August 21, 2017 at 9:06 am By Guest Contributor

by Stephen Ray We must remember history rightly for the sake of our children. I suspect that the events of Charlottesville, VA in these past few days will be remembered by history as the opening salvo in the long-simmering prelude to the conclusion of the Civil War. We have been taken by history to the precipice from which we plunge either into the night of the worst demons of our history and malice or alight to the bright horizons of... Read more

#WhiteSupremacy and Higher Ed

Last updated on: August 13, 2017 at 2:02 pm By Guest Contributor

by Jayanni Webster As a labor organizer for a higher education union, I feel it’s important to draw attention to the fact that our college and university campuses have become notable spaces for contestation by white supremacists / white nationalists. Perhaps it’s always been this way, right? But we cannot ignore the university and college as an important site to defend in this moment. We cannot ignore that many campuses are experiencing for the first time public and vivid propaganda... Read more

Reflections on #Charlottesville-Part 1

Last updated on: August 13, 2017 at 1:34 pm By blog admin

On August 11 in Charlottesville, Virginia, White Supremacists marched through the city and on the campus of the University of Virginia shouting racist epithets and declaring that “Jews will not replace us.” On August 12, 20-year-old James Alex Fields Jr. committed an act of domestic terrorism by driving his car into a crowd of people, killing one person (Heather Heyer) and injuring many more. Below some R3 readers offer reflections on these incidents. White nationalism is racism. Opposing opportunities... Read more

Introducing the #HMTProject

Last updated on: August 10, 2017 at 12:09 pm By Andre E. Johnson

I discovered Henry McNeal Turner (1834-1915) by accident. While starting a seminar class in rhetorical criticism and trying to hone in on a dissertation topic, I ran across a speech delivered by Turner. He delivered the speech on the floor of the Georgia House of Representatives as the House debated whether African Americans could hold office in the state of Georgia. I remember reading the speech and wondering if anyone had studied Turner’s rhetoric. However, there was a problem. Since Turner... Read more

What Is Womanist Preaching?

Last updated on: August 6, 2017 at 9:13 am By Guest Contributor

by Kimberly P. Johnson The idea behind The Womanist Preacher: Proclaiming Womanist Rhetoric from the Pulpit evolved out of a conversation with Rev. Dr. Claudette A. Copeland on October 7, 2007. She had just finished preaching her sermon, “What Shall We Do For Our Sister?” at my home church, Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church, back when I lived in Memphis, Tennessee. I was one of the lay ministers at the church and my pastor, Dr. Frank Anthony Thomas, knew that I... Read more

A Word to White People About Being White

Last updated on: August 5, 2017 at 1:58 pm By Guest Contributor

by Edie Love I took my baby to a party recently. Never mind where, it was a party full of white people. She and an adult were the only people of color I saw out of dozens, including myself. A three year old white boy came up and aimed a toy gun at my baby’s face. I had a visceral, nauseated reaction. Nobody else noticed. The child ran on, and my toddler kept playing, too. I walked home with her... Read more
