Today, we honor and remember the souls lost on September 11, 2001. I intentionally chose this photo as a reminder of the brief moment when our nation stood united, regardless of our differences. An all too short moment! I pray for an enduring revival of that time when we were all Americans.

If you’re reading this and you’re tempted to believe the now en vogue counter narrative about America chattel slavery, I suggest you pick up a copy of this book or any other slave narrative to read the firsthand accounts about the cruelty and evil of American chattel slavery.

60 years ago, the Voting Rights Act bent the arc of history toward justice.
It was a sacred victory won through blood, prayer, and persistence.
Today, that legacy is under threat.
But as people of faith, we know:
Protecting the vote is a moral calling.

This woman claims to be a Jesus loving, Bible reading, cross wearing Christian yet she condemns empathy as a sin and embraces cruelty as a virtue.

I saw this yesterday but I didn’t want to distract from Christ’s day. The president’s comments represent an understanding of Christianity that is antithetical to the message of Christ. They reflect the mindset of someone who is cosplaying being a Christian.

On this date, we remember the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on the 57th anniversary of his assassination. We often gloss over why Dr. King was in Memphis on that fateful day. He was there to support Black sanitation workers in their struggle to have their basic human dignity recognized.

What has history taught us about fighting would be authoritarians?
Resist. Refuse to Consent. Be Resilient. Find Moments of Joy. Refuse to Lose Hope.
Sen. Cory Booker embodied all of this over the last 24 hours.

Today, I honor and remember my mother on what would have been her 108th birthday! She meant and still means so much to me. Not a day goes by when I don't think about her. She had a wicked sense of humor, but all knew never to cross her. Continue to rest well, Corine! With all my love, Terry.

I’m old enough to remember when U.S. presidents cared about the rule of law and constitutional norms. This was true regardless of party affiliation. Again, this past weekend, this President has demonstrated that he has no regard for anything that makes our democracy a democracy.

60 years ago today, on "Bloody Sunday," peaceful marchers in Selma, Alabama, were violently attacked while demanding voting rights. This pivotal moment on the Edmund Pettus Bridge shocked the nation and fueled the Civil Rights Movement. We remember their courage & recommit to the fight for justice.
