This week kicks off our series on Racial Solidarity and Lowertown. Brian is joined by HCC-Lowertown elders Joshua Daramola and Paul Stiver to properly contextualize issues on race, using their own experiences, history, and the Bible to move toward racial solidarity. This is the first of multiple conversations to take place, providing a framework for what racial solidarity is, why it is so essential to understand, and how we can grow in our understanding of it through Awareness, Relationships, and Commitment (ARC concept via Jemar Tisby's book "The Color of Compromise"). Have questions or want to dialogue about anything in this episode? Feel free to email Brian at brian@hopecc.com.
