2020 symbolizes clear vision and relationships. This year, 2020, provided a clear vision about the soul of America… its vulnerabilities, its crimes, its injustices, and its brokenness. It has also revealed how fragile social advancement and freedom for African Americans are when controlled by a social system that refuses to value our lives.
This 2-part episode starts a conversation on severing the cords of our obsession with gaining freedom and equality through White approval and acceptance. It argues for a movement addressing the psychological injustices inflicted on the African American psyche. It declares that healing justice is just as significant to our overall well-being as our external fight for freedom. It further proposes a sacred civil rights movement or rite of passage that focuses on us, to heal us, and to build for us.
But it all starts with acknowledging the uncomfortable truth regarding decades of both our fears of being powerful and our resentment of feeling powerless as African Americans in this country.
