Access Vincent L. Wimbush's Presidential Address, “Interpreters—Enslaving/Enslaved/Runagate” in JBL 130.1. buff.ly/Z66VcDy #BlackHistorySBL26
“It is imperative that we recognize, even if belatedly, those few black pioneers of the decades before the initiatives of Hoyt and Waters—the likes of Leon Edward Wright; Charles B. Copher; G. Murray Branch; and Joseph A. Johnson. We must inscribe them and a few others into our full organizational consciousness and memory. These few are no longer with us; they have yet to be fully claimed and recognized. They struggled mightily to figure out how to speak to the challenges and pressures of the different worlds they intersected as black male intellectuals on the peripheries of the field.” 
—Vincent L. Wimbush

“The import of Héctor’s discovery is remarkable and complicates the conventional histories about the introduction of Christianity and erasure of Native religions, as it points to Indigenous agency and intelligence on the page not merely in reaction to but in the midst of this moment in time.”

Clergy & churches in Pasadena are leading the charge & loving their neighbors: "The churches have some deep theological differences, but their readiness to band together in the face of raids came from 20 years of relationships in the community." www.christianitytoday.com/2025/07/ice-...

We can't make it make sense for you. It is absurd, illogical, and nonsensical. But the actual problem is that there are real people on the other side of these racist accusations whose lives and livelihoods are at risk.
