What are YOU doing on Tuesdays?
There were articles out some time ago asking “Where are the African Americans on the genocide in Darfur issue?” I’m glad to see that question fading away. We’re here. Inspired by the “Baltimore for Darfur” event that Young Clergy for Social Change organized with others, one of my younger brothers took the “Save Darfur” postcards to school and has started encouraging his teachers and peers to fill them out. I thought that was pretty cool. Not that I want my younger siblings to be clones of me - but I do want them to be aware of the world around them and feel like they have a responsibility to help make things right.
The link below shows some other people of African descent doing something about the genocide. While this issue has faded from the focus of the media, The Congressional Black Caucus has pledged to protest every Tuesday in front of the Sudanese Embassy in DC until the violence and injustice stops.
