Take a couple of moments and look at this new blog. It's about a new blog, but even more than that, it's about a new challenge. The challenge is to help save a historic farm for a brave people. It's one illustration of Black land loss in our country.
More information will posted to it shortly.
Let us know what you think.

let justice roll
The purposes of this blog are as follows: to research, write, and present information relative primarily to the plight of the Black farmer and family; to provide students with opportunities to engage in advocacy; to discuss ideas of racism, discrimination, and the community of faith; to study public policy and its impact on matters related to injustice; and to integrate theology and social advocacy.
