Photo by Jack Jenkins WASHINGTON â On Wednesday morning, an interfaith group of religious leaders gathered outside of Luther Place Memorial Church in the nationâs capital. For two hours, the clergy prayed for an end to violence, for an eradication of white nationalism and for a groundswell of racial justice. Their small prayer circle surrounded a Black Lives Matter sign, created to replace similar banners repeatedly stolen and destroyed by the far-right Proud Boys in December.
