Joan Crawford [email protected] PRAYER FOR RACIAL JUSTICE Ever-Creating God, In these times, it might be easier to despair. Each day’s news offers ample reason. Too often we see and experience the destruction of your world. The promise of abundant life for all is a distant vision. Free us from passive acceptance of this news. Make us actors with you in seeking your justice and love. Open our eyes to our complicity in unjust structures and racial inequity. Open our eyes to the system that deepen the gulfs among us. Open our eyes to ways we wound the image of you in ourselves and neglect your image in one another. Help us love each other, not only for what we have in common, but also for how we are different. Help us see new ways of being and living in your world. Make us brave. 6 Rev. Joan Crawford [email protected] For you are a God of hope, who makes all things new, again and yet again! You are the God who created us and the world and called it good. Return us to your original blessing, where differences among us are occasions of celebration, beauty, and hope. Transform us and give us courage to work toward abundance for all. May these prayers be the expression of our public voice, a word to declare that we are not bound by this original sin of racism but by the blessing of a Creator whose love ever reforms us and sends us forth with power and hope for a world made new. Amen Rev. Margaret R Rose Presiding Bishop’s Deputy for Ecumenical and Inter- Religious Relations The Episcopal Church 7 Rev. Joan Crawford [email protected] O GOD OF PEACE and HEALING O God of peace and healing, We come before you feeling powerless to stop the hatred that divides races and nations. We come before you saddened and angered by the denial of human rights in our land. We come before you with wounds deep in our hearts that we long to have healed. We come before you with struggles in our personal lives that it seems will not go away. And we pray Lord, How long? How long to peace? And we hear, “Not long, because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” How long for racial justice? “Not long, because no lie can live forever.” How long for our wounded hearts? Not long, I call you by name, you are with me; you are mine How long for our struggles? Not long, for my grace is sufficient. I hold you in my everlasting arms beneath which you cannot fall. How long for the healing of what is broken inside and all around us? Not long, for we shall overcome, together in partnership, human holy partnership, we shall overcome. Amen (Citations in quotation marks are from martin Luther King, Jr.’s speech, “Our God Is Marching On,” before the state capitol in Montgomery, Alabama, March 25, 1963.) --Larry Reimer 8 Rev. Joan Crawford [email protected] God, Grant me justice, so that I may treat others as they deserve, Grant me mercy, so that I don’t treat others as they deserve. Grant me a humble walk with you, so that I may understand the difference. --Patricia McCaughan and Keith Yamamoto 9 .

  • Narrative ‘Trauma-Testimony’ and Fragmented Identity in Sometimes in April
    Narrative ‘Trauma-Testimony’ and Fragmented Identity in Sometimes in April Soji Cole Faculty of Humanities, Brock University 1812 Sir Isaac Brock Way, St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada E-mail: [email protected] This paper examines how trauma victims’ sense of self is split and how personal identity is fragmented in the course of giving testimony of the traumatic events. The film ‘Sometimes in April’ is used as a case study based on its critical engagement with different elements of narrativity of traumatic events, and the subject of identity. The paper adopts the concepts of narrative construction of the self, selfhood, and identity following the works of scholars like Ricoeur, Schechtman and Taylor. It argues that the film ‘Sometimes in April’ is an alternative sociological space for the studying and understanding of narrative and identity construction of victims and witnesses to the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Narrative, Identity, Testimony, African film, Trauma Traditionally, trauma refers to a physical and psychological phenomenon which constitute a violent disruption of the body’s integrity. It is described as an intensely painful experience in which the mental and emotional after-effects can completely alter the sufferer’s relationship and perception with the surrounding world. The unprocessed memory of the experience always remains engraved in the mind, leading to pathologies of memory, emotion and practical functioning. In the late nineteenth century, the concept began to be applied to psychological phenomena by pioneers like Sigmund Freud and Pierre Janet in their work on hysteria. Psychological trauma refers to an experience that overwhelmed a person’s normal means of mentally processing stimuli.

Patrice Émery Lumumba 37 Patrice Émery Lumumba Patrice Émery Lumumba (1925–61), a Congolese leader of the nationalist independence movement against Belgian colonialism and co-founder of the Mouvement National Congolais (MNC) in 1958, was the first Prime Minister of what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo from June 1960 until September 1960, when he was removed from office by a confluence of forces under the direction of President Joseph Kasavubu, Colonel Joseph Désiré Mobutu, and Belgian and American officials. Lumumba was born in Onalua in the Katako-Kombe district of Sankuru in the Kasai province of the Belgian Congo and educated by Protestant missionaries. He was registered as an évolué and worked as a postal clerk and as a charismatic salesman, an image made famous first in Aimé Césaire’s play Une Saison au Congo (1967) and then in Raoul Peck’s biographical film Lumumba (2000). He became active in the independence movements in the mid-1950s and began a career as a journalist and writer, editing a Congolese postal workers’ newspaper L’Écho, and writing for La Voix du Congolais, La Croix du Congo and the Belgium-based, L’Afrique et le Monde.

  • ANTI-RACISM RESOURCES UNLEARNING SYSTEMIC RACISM Updated: July 1, 2020
    ANTI-RACISM RESOURCES UNLEARNING SYSTEMIC RACISM Updated: July 1, 2020 As community tensions rise in the wake of multiple acts of police violence, the veil of how racism is embedded in our society is removed. The Y is an organization focused on addressing the most critical needs of our community and dedicated to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion for all. As such, we must begin to address how to undo racism and become “anti-racists” at an individual, organizational, and societal level. We seek to more effectively lead as an anti-racist, multi-cultural organization, yet as we embark on this journey together, we do so with humility, fully cognizant that as a local and national institution we have so much more work to do. Anti-racism is the work of actively opposing racism by advocating for changes in political, economic, and social life. Anti- racism tends to be an individualized approach and set up in opposition to individual racist behaviors and impacts. (Definition by Race Forward) We invite all Y communities to take this journey with us and begin to unpack what it means to be an anti-racist. We know that the first step includes unlearning previous notions and educating ourselves as individuals committed to this journey. We encourage you to begin your individual anti-racism educational journey with us by diving deep into understanding racism from its origins to its impact on society today. BEGIN YOUR INDIVIDUAL ANTI-RACISM JOURNEY Change leadership towards creating a more inclusive community requires deep personal understanding and reflection. This personal development is needed to build organizational commitment and a culture of inclusion that will positively impact our communities.

  • 1-SMX43 Newton
    Introduction: On History and Justice Melanie J. Newton In a special section of this issue of Small Axe and of the one to follow (Small Axe 44, July 2014), we focus on how historians continue to interrogate the temporal, disciplinary, and geographical boundaries of the Caribbean. The essays range across histories of citizenship, exile, and diaspora; the nexus between nation-state boundaries, intra-Caribbean, and transoceanic migrations; empire and its legacies; race-making, slavery, and freedom; popular culture and consciousness. Collec- tively, the contributing scholars pose new questions about what constitutes a “historical archive,” engaging in an ongoing and dynamic conversation between present and past. My introduction focuses on recent developments that throw into sharp relief the specific ways history matters for the Caribbean. In September 2012, the prime minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Ralph Gonsalves, informed the UN General Assembly of the intentions of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) to seek reparations from several European governments for the slave trade and indigenous genocide. That same week a ruling of the Dominican Republic Constitutional Court stripped thousands of Haitian Dominicans of citizenship.1 The histories behind these two decisions range across Caribbean space and time and yet intertwine in one country—Haiti. Exploring these momentous announcements from the vantage point of what they mean for Haiti also illustrates how the unresolved injustices of the past echo in the present.2 I hope that these words and the essays 1 “Fourteen Caribbean Nations Sue European Countries for Slavery Reparations,” Al Jazeera America, 27 September 2013, america.aljazeera.com; Ezequiel Abiú Lopez and Danica Coto, “Dominican Republic to End Citizenship for Haitian- Descended Residents,” NBC Latino, 28 September 2013, nbclatino.com.

  • “He Gave Me the Words”: an Interview with Raoul Peck
    INTERVIEW “He Gave Me the Words”: An Interview with Raoul Peck Leah Mirakhor Yale University Abstract I Am Not Your Negro (2016) takes its direction from the notes for a book enti- tled “Remember this House” that James Baldwin left unfinished, a book about his three friends—Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Jr.— their murders, and their intertwining legacies. The film examines the prophetic shadow Baldwin’s work casts on twentieth- and twenty-first-century American politics and culture. Peck compiles archival material from Baldwin’s interviews on The Dick Cavett Show, his 1965 Cambridge lecture, and a series of banal images indexing the American dream. Juxtaposed against this mythology is footage of Dorothy Counts walking to school, the assassination of black leaders and activists, KKK rallies, and the different formations of the contemporary carceral state. Our conversation examines Peck’s role as a filmmaker and his relationship with the Baldwin estate. Additionally, we discussed a series of aesthetic choices he fought to include in the film’s final cut, directing Samuel L. Jackson as the voice for the film, the similarities and shifts he wanted to document in American culture since the 1960s, and some of the criticism he has received for not emphasizing more Baldwin’s sexuality. Keywords: James Baldwin, Gloria Baldwin Karefa-Smart, race, film, America, The Devil Finds Work, “Remember this House,” violence, sexuality, Patrice Lumumba, film I Am Not Your Negro (2016) is a work that has been a lifetime in the making for Raoul Peck. Before he met James Baldwin’s younger sister, Gloria Baldwin Karefa-Smart, a decade ago at her home in Washington D.C.
