The Spiral of Social Justice:
Time and again, history shows us the moments and movements of the social justice journey for Black Americans. In instances including the Reconstruction Era in the 19th Century, Rosa Parks and the Little Rock Nine in the 1950s, and the March on Washington and Bloody Sunday in the 1960s, Black Americans and their allies, spoke up, sat down, and marched on for equity and inclusion. The more recent incidents that lead to George Floyd and Breonna Taylor’s death have ignited a new era of social justice with outcries, including ‘Say Her Name’ and ‘Black Lives Matter.’ One might suggest that we do not consider these current events as history repeating itself; instead, they are ticks on a spiral-shaped continuum towards the dream …’ and justice for all!’
During this month, we invite you to join us at our virtual events to listen, learn, and reflect on the Spiral's impact on our everyday lives.
