A year of renewed debates, discussions and demonstrations
surrounding race and racism nationwide has set the stage for
forthcoming strategies toward social change. With 400
Years:Prayer, Praise, Protest, and White Justice: A 30 Day
Black Lives Matter Devotional Imelda Hunt, PhD,
contributes spiritual guidance to the ongoing fight for
equality.
Using the voices and experiences of history’s heroes,
including many of the freedom fighters who’ve inspired
2020’s most courageous movements, Hunt, a scholar and
instructor at Eastern Michigan University, blends faith with
forward-thinking.
“From Nat Turner to Jesse Jackson, the black liberation
movement has always held an element of faith-based and
spiritual focus,” says Hunt. “The devotionals in 400
Years: Prayer, Praise, Protest, and White Justice are
reminders that freedom is a righteous cause.”
In light of the recent inauguration
of America’s first vice president of color and the ongoing
division of much of the nation along racial lines, Hunt says
the book’s publication is timely.
“As readers encounter the installments and selected
writings, they can find themselves easily reflecting on
events taking place today,” she said.
400 Years: Prayer, Praise, Protest, and White Justice: A 30
Day Black Lives Matter Devotional
is available at Amazon.com. Cover design by Yusef Lateef and
