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.

Ada, Oklahoma, United States
I am a former professor of marriage and family therapy at Abilene Christian University. The students on the Social Justice Teams are committed to making the world a better place, one advocacy effort at a time. My day job these days involves development of policy and programs for strong families in Oklahoma for the Chickasaw Nation. My avocation is working on behalf of Black farmers.
