JUSTICE

Special Guest: Aubrey Berry Aubrey is the program coordinator for the Student Center for Reconciliation and Diversity at Azusa Pacific University. He is an advocate for justice, especially for the Black community, and for racial reconciliation. This particular episode centers the conversation around the current events surrounding the murder of George Floyd, the Black Lives Matter Movement, and the complexity of issues like systemic racism.  If you disagree, feel discomfort, or challenged by the ideas presented in this episode, that is the hope. Because how will we learn if we only listen to the people we agree with.  Part 2 will feature a new guest to offer a new perspective on the events happening right in front of us.  Valuable resource for understanding America's racial history: https://eji.org/racial-justice/ If you haven't yet, register here to vote:  https://www.usa.gov/register-to-vote To provide feedback or inquiries, please email: [email protected]
