Faith in Texas invites you to join us in an intentional and sacred march to the sites of the lynching of Allen Brooks in 1910, and the murder of Diamond Ross in 2018. On this sacred ground, we will make a declaration and commitment to our city and ourselves: Never Again.
Our community and nation are in the midst of an uprising for Black lives. This struggle will not be finished until all Black people can live in full liberation with the dignity they deserve as sacred creations. At the "Never Again" Pilgrimage for Black Lives, we will take a stand as people of faith that we are full partners in the struggle for Black liberation. This struggle requires sacrifice, so we will prepare ourselves, through prayer and sacred practices from our many faith traditions, for the continued action necessary to overcome. Together we can tap into our prophetic imaginations to unleash a new system of justice that ensures the hungry are fed, the vulnerable are cared for, and the sick are healed.
Gathering details and preparation materials will be sent to registrants the week of the pilgrimage.
As COVID-19 still ravages our communities, we ask that all participants wear a mask, sanitize hands frequently, and practice social distancing during the pilgrimage.
