Jesus Stopped And Frisked
Jesus Was A Person Of Color
A good place to start reckoning with institutional racism is with American Christianity. Like it or not white America, Jesus Was A Person Of Color
A lot of destructive public policy is driven by the American religious right in the name of God and Jesus and often times directed at people of color ”” Roger CampoTHOUSAND OAKS, CA, UNITED STATES, April 8, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ The Sons Of New York song & video titled Jesus Was A Person Of Color would suggest that the song is religious but in truth it examines the hypocrisy of the religious right in America and takes them to task while at the same time elevating Jesus’s message of love, equality and justice. Pulling no punches, the song lays out an indictment of the damaging effects the Evangelical religious right has imposed on America.

As part of the station’s Strategic Plan, Michigan Radio is committed to ensuring that the station s staffing composition reflects the diverse communities we serve. Among the steps the station has taken has been changing our hiring practices - from pre-screening job postings to ensure bias-free language; to expanding search committees to include more diverse evaluators; and standardizing our processes to ensure an equitable experience for all candidates.
An additional element of this effort is examining staff turnover at the station since diversifying the station’s staff can either take place by creating new positions or by filling positions left vacant when staff leave due to retirement or other reasons. Michigan Radio conducts exit interviews with departing staff which are used in this evaluation. Collectively this information is used to brief managers and staff about the progress we’re making in this regard and further changes that may be needed.
RACINE â Racine Unified School Board member Dr. Michael Frontier wants to see change on the school board.
So heâs stepping aside to allow for that â and is hoping a person of color fills his place.
âI think the board is sympathetic to issues, but when we have a school district that is probably 60% minority, there should be some representation of the commitment of the student body and the families,â Frontier said, noting how all nine current members of the School Board are white. âWe need people on the board who are experiencing issues that our families face.â Journal Times staff
Missoula Public Library Challenges You To Read 50 Books In 2021
I got to get back into reading more. When I was growing up, I used to be really well-read - I wouldn t just read the stuff assigned to me by school, I d read for fun, too! And then, over the years, I had less and less time to devote to reading, and now I ve got a pile of books sitting at my house that I know I d enjoy if I just got around to actually reading them.
Well, the Missoula Public Library is putting me on blast. I mean, not me specifically, but they re challenging people to read 50 books between now and the end of 2021. This is a year-long challenge called Missoula Reads, and this is actually the fifth year in a row they ve done this.
