Slave Burial Ground: No Joke, A Rare Opportunity
Posted by Wallace+
Over the past few days my mind has kept returning to Michael Paul Williams' column from Friday, "Excavate the Slave Burial Ground, or the Joke's On Us."
The coming of the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War & Emancipation presents our city, our commonwealth, and our nation with a rare opportunity.
And, likewise, we, the Church, are presented with a rare opportunity, an opportunity for us to witness to what is truly possible for the human family.
What will we Richmonders do? What will we Christians do?
Let us pray for integrity, for courage, and for good judgement for all those involved.
Amen, amen.

"It's clear what we're supposed to be commemorating next year remains both a bone of contention and a work in progress."
