CARING CONNECTIONS: PERSPECTIVES ON RACIAL JUSTICE
From Lutheran Services in America
RACE + JUSTICE ESSENTIALS is a non-Lutheran resource
that makes for a great starter-guide on everything from
systemic racism to why race is a social construct.
A TIME FOR BURNING is the Oscar-Nominated movie about a Lutheran church
wrestling with race relations during the height of the civil rights movement.
Organize a group of friends to watch the movie and use this guide to lead a
discussion about what the 1960s have to tell us about racial justice today.
Post any insights, plans for action, or your discussion group's pic on social media with the hashtag: #LRJTalks
