Sunday morning, we were invited to join the UU Church of Columbia for an online service focused on the grief and rage of this moment, brought on by the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and a heartbreaking litany of other black lives, cut short in their developing stories and their sacred worth. This is a moment to center ourselves in our humanity, to recognize that the grief and rage is born of love and thus recognize the depth of the black community's love. Rev. Molly Housh-Gordon reminded fellow white people (like myself) that our heartbreak is also needed, not at the center of this moment, but in support and solidarity. White people have work to do in the silence of our hearts, to get better at loving, while also showing up for justice.
The service also included a message from black philosopher-in-residence CW Dawson, a gorgeous performance by an all-black wind ensemble, and a collection benefiting the Movement for Black Lives (whom you can donate to at any time on their website).
The entire service is now available to view online: https://youtu.be/eVndyZPReus
