    This is welcome news in dark times.

    As tragic as the genocide in Gaza is, it is uplifting to see diverse groups standing up in ways I don’t recall in the past to insist on the humanity of all people.

    Why polarise and specify black? There are possibly more practicing black Christians than white, Jesus was not white, yet everywhere else we just say Christian.

      Because the people involved are specifically black Christian leaders appealing to the Congressional Black Caucus, which is an official political group?
