Description

Joan Lipscomb Arthurton is a teacher, community organizer and woman of faith who shares with us her story of being raised in the only black family at St. Patrick’s Church in Ravena.  Like all of us, Joan is searching to find her place in the Black Lives Matter movement and seeking to find ways to interrupt the systemic racism that is sapping life from the soul of America.  In this conversation, she and Fr. Scott discuss how none of us is a bystander in the struggle for freedom - all of us have a role.  Hear how speaking up when others say disrespectful or hateful things about others because of their race is an act of patriotism.
