The Awakening to Justice Project
When a historian discovers a forgotten abolitionist manuscript dated from 1839, he and his fellow researchers uncover a text that sheds light on the reality of racism today — and the history of faith and race in America.
Awakening to Justice explores the groundbreaking work of these scholars and offers insight and hope for people engaged in the work of racial justice. The book narrates the fruit of the scholars' research in a compelling and accessible way. The book is especially appropriate for classrooms and congregational study groups, especially when used alongside the free Discussion Guide. The film highlights intentional, countercultural communities as examples of interracial cooperation and equality, and provides a fresh approach to today's conversations about race and faith in the church.
