(Per the program notes listed in the event flyer-)

In this lecture, Rev. Sekou situates current political debate around social services, faith-based institutions, and the role of government in maintaining social welfare policies that care for the most vulnerable members of society.

As one who has worked in social services programs in some of the most notorious communities in the nation and now as a national political organizer, Rev. Sekou brings an organic insight to the prevailing political issue of our time in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

I happened to be with Rev. Sekou for the Steering Committee meeting for CALC-I, before the lecture and having brought my computer with me to it was able to capture a portion of it to share here.

Enjoy!

What it Takes to Build a Movement

Front page article in the NY Times today,

"Grieving Parks, Rights Leaders Ponder Future."

There is an inquiry in this article. It asks, "What is the future of the legacy left by the Civil Rights movement?"

As a progressive Christian it strikes me that the answer is clear.
