Описание: This is a compelling collaborative memoir of two college friends, Roberta Davidson Williams, whose cultural experience as a Black woman from a Canadian background, living in Caribbean culture is uniquely different from her friend, Addie Moore Morrow Northerner, with southern roots. As the authors reflect on their experiences, they learn how their enduring trust and faith in God create a legacy for future generations. The authors attended Eastern Michigan University together. They both felt that their stories could help the next generation find hope. Writing brought forth a tumultuous journey - taking both through hurt and fond memories. Roberta and Addie both have strong ancestral foundations - their fathers rose above racist conditions to send both of their daughters to college. Robertas father, a Canadian railway porter, and Addies father, a Detroit autoworker, loved beautiful landscapes and vegetable gardens. Years after their death, Roberta, a retired career horticulturist, and Addie, a retired licensed professional counselor and educator, took up the writing challenge. Robertas book, which borrows the title from a Bible scripture, The Lord is the Shade upon My Right Hand, is a journey from her safe Canadian childhood to United States Jim Crow history and racist policies. She faced her challenges and fought for survival in the backdrop of black awareness and now credits her success to God. Robertas book mentions the recent injustices and protests movement and her own experience in a protest sparked by the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, while she was attending Eastern Michigan University. Similarly, Addies book, Angelic Testimonies, is also an acknowledgment of historical racism and its impact on her family and todays similar political discourse and fears of turning back a century of race progress to return to a time of racial divide. Addies journey of survival is an awareness of how generational "Angels" carried her and her family through turbulent times. Angelic Testimonies appears somewhat biographical and portrays her parents survival from Selma, Alabama, to Detroit and how she felt their entire lives were covered by Gods grace to the end.
Описание: Dear White Peacemakers is a breakup letter to division, a love letter to God's beloved community, and an eviction notice to the violent powers that have sustained racism for centuries. Race is one of the hardest topics to discuss in America. Many white Christians, fearing hurt feelings, misunderstanding, and anger, avoid talking about it altogether. But everything we know about overturning racism relies on white people becoming aware and engaging in change. Dear White Peacemakers is an encouraging and thoughtful guide for white Christian peacemakers on the journey to racial justice, gently pointing out blinds spots and reminding such readers that they have a vital part in this hard work and holy calling. Based in the Sermon on the Mount, this book offers everyday practices for transforming white shame, fragility, saviorism, and privilege and for building beloved community as an anti-racist peacemaker. Author Osheta Moore is a trusted leader for peacemakers and racial justice advocates and also a Black pastor in an interracial marriage who has served predominantly white congregations for over ten years.
