Hey TCF! One of the core values in InterVarsity is social justice AND ethnic/racial reconciliation. With the recent Michael Brown and Ferguson case, Eric Garner, and so much more, theres a lot that needs to be done in race relations in America today. Kelechi and I worked on this short video set to one of her spoken word pieces on race and injustice in America. Give it a watch and think about how America has, or hasnt changed, since Martin Luther King Jr.s I Have a Dream Speech in 1963. After you watch it, below are several articles that Brian Chung and I compiled to give you more insight on whats been happening and how to respond. I firmly believe that was not only as InterVarsity, but as Christians, need to respond and take action. Lets be a force for change, and racial reconciliation, starting with the USC community, and branching out into our city, and into the nation. https://vimeo/115763189 Articles: - relevantmagazine/current/nation/why-ferguson-must-lead-change - thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/thabitianyabwile/2014/12/01/the-problem-of-gospel-escapism-in-evangelical-circles/ - cnn/2014/11/26/us/ferguson-racism-or-racial-bias/index.html?c=homepage-t&page=0 - feistythoughts/2014/08/16/the-unacceptable-silence-of-asian-american-christians-in-response-to-ferguson/ - ideas.ted/2014/12/17/fresh-smart-ways-to-think-about-racism-and-injustice-in-the-u-s-today/ - relevantmagazine/god/worldview/how-actually-fight-racial-reconciliation
