Birth of a Movement: Black Lives Matter and the Catholic Church

Description

Birth of a Movement offers a "Christ-like" perspective of the Black Lives Matter movement through its radical call to dignity and equality for all people. It examines the founders of the movement and the church's involvement with slavery, including the more recent decision by Georgetown University to make amends for its past actions. Catholic and non-Catholic readers alike will gain a deeper understanding of the movement and why it can help the church, and the country, move closer to racial equality.
