Reverend Otis Moss III will share how Black communities created a spiritual world view to handle existential issues facing our democracy. He will discuss how Black leaders used their faith to find strength to confront civic challenges and celebrate the ideas of love, justice, resilience, and self-determination. Those lessons can be used today as we examine our moral and internal compass as individuals and a democratic society.
