Drawing upon anti-racist scholars and musical activists, I make a case for getting political and for cultivating activism in our classrooms. I ask our field to critically reflect upon our participation in a system that advantages Whites. I suggest that one possibility to engage in dialogue around issues of race is to encourage an environment of musical creativity where—together with students—teachers study and write music that speaks to our times and addresses issues of social justice within our local communities and across the globe.

  • Anti-Racism Resources
    Anti-Racism Resources Prepared for and by: The First Church in Oberlin United Church of Christ Part I: Statements Why Black Lives Matter: Statement of the United Church of Christ Our faith's teachings tell us that each person is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) and therefore has intrinsic worth and value. So why when Jesus proclaimed good news to the poor, release to the jailed, sight to the blind, and freedom to the oppressed (Luke 4:16-19) did he not mention the rich, the prison-owners, the sighted and the oppressors? What conclusion are we to draw from this? Doesn't Jesus care about all lives? Black lives matter. This is an obvious truth in light of God's love for all God's children. But this has not been the experience for many in the U.S. In recent years, young black males were 21 times more likely to be shot dead by police than their white counterparts. Black women in crisis are often met with deadly force. Transgender people of color face greatly elevated negative outcomes in every area of life. When Black lives are systemically devalued by society, our outrage justifiably insists that attention be focused on Black lives. When a church claims boldly "Black Lives Matter" at this moment, it chooses to show up intentionally against all given societal values of supremacy and superiority or common-sense complacency. By insisting on the intrinsic worth of all human beings, Jesus models for us how God loves justly, and how his disciples can love publicly in a world of inequality.

  • If Womanist Rhetoricians Could Speak
    Journal of Contemporary Rhetoric, Vol. 5, No.3/4, 2015, pp. 160-165. If Womanist Rhetoricians Could Speak... Kimberly Johnson With all of the national debates about race and racism that discuss the killings of young black men by police offic- ers, the excessive police force used on African American women, the Charleston Church Shooting by a white su- premacist, and even our reactions to Bree Newsome removing a confederate flag from a state capitol building; we have heard from political pundits, social activists, religious leaders, some educators, and university administrators, but there is still an important voice that is missing. This article asks the question: where is the womanist critique? When will we hear and recognize a womanist voice in the midst of all the discourse? The article not only seeks to explain why womanist rhetoricians have been missing in action, it will begin to define womanist criticism and offer a womanist critique to the discourse on race and racism. Keywords: Race and Racism, Systemic Racism, Womanism, Womanist Criticism, Womanist Rhetoricians In the aftermath of so many racially charged incidents involving African Americans, people are talking. National debates about race and racism have sparked from coast to coast in discussing the killings of young black men, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and Freddie Gray, by police offic- ers. The unsettling video images of a California patrol officer beating a 51-year old great-grand- mother on the side of the freeway; or the excessive force used by a Texas police officer, caught on camera, who threw a teenage girl down to the ground before pinning her with his weight had people talking as well.

The work of the NAACP has brought increased visibility and bolstered our historic credibility as the premier civil rights organization with funders, the media, our members, other civil and human rights organizations, policymakers and the public. In 2016 we continued our work on the ground and as we remained heavily involved in civic engagement activities, and witnessed the election of a new President who has thus far demonstrated antagonism at best to many of our priorities - including education, criminal justice, and voting rights.
