Black History Month

Black History Month

Reflection

“The life of the nation is secure only while the nation is honest, truthful, and virtuous.” ~ Frederick Douglass

Prayer

Merciful God, today, we continue our celebration of Black History Month. May our ongoing celebration remind us of how vitally important it is to be truthful as a nation about our past, to be honest and hopeful about the future we desire as a people, and to recognize and accept that both require us to be a virtuous people in the here and now. May we as individuals and as a people repent of injustice and contribute to the dawning of a new and better day for all. In humility, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Make a commitment to do something each day in honor of Black History Month. And identify one action I can take or commitment I can make to work for racial justice throughout the year.
