What are we as leaders to do and say while social media continues to capture wayward cops killing innocent civilians; unjust actions that triggered public voices to call for “retaliation”? And now we have innocent police officers being killed just for wearing their uniforms. What are we to do as leaders and what do we do as everyday Americans as we witness America’s growing racial divide fueling the killing of more Americans – numerically – and causing more harm to our country than the sins of Sept. 11, 2001?

We must not let the voices that call our youth to violent revenge to override our voices of reconciliation. But this takes serious work and dedication on our part to lay our cards on the table and speak a word of truth that addresses inequities in our American society; the regular injustices that causes despair, distrust, anger and division. Collectively we must face head-on the growing racial divide in America before the hatred grows and come full-circle resulting in more dead bodies in our streets, classrooms, theaters, churches and police cars.  

These are serious community issues that we need to address. Please join us.
