The Last Straw? - We cannot remain silent in the face of evil and tyranny.
June 21, 2018:
In today’s torrential downpour I attended two rallies. Both were in Chicago- St. Peter’s RC Church and the Daly Plaza. Both focused on the unjust immigration actions by our administration. The first one was a room filled with clergy representing the rich mosaic of our diverse nation. The second was this one- fighting for Yesica to be reunited with her family in Evanston. Her Mom Anna spoke and I was humbled to be in her presence. God is, the God of the oppressed.

I'm feeling the struggle today- as an African American man, seeing my young "sister" assaulted in a classroom by a toy police officer. I'm feeling the struggle after Ferguson, Staten Island, Cleveland, Baltimore, Dearborn, Southfield...after Watts and Detroit, after Selma and Montgomery, after Jim Crow and Slavery...it is all here and alive.
