“We who truly value our scriptures and our sacred sanctuaries, not as props but as lifelines, who hold on to our hallowed teachings of moral courage, to persistent stubborn hopes that justice is the very essence of our purpose, it is on us to decry police brutality, to fight white supremacy, to wail against the continued cruel murder and oppression of people of color. It’s on us, always and during these nights and days of righteous rage, to protest, to protect, to rebuke and to take responsibility for every single soul created in the divine image.”
