“Coming of age in the Civil Rights movement and, as a mother of a millennial generation son, I am keenly aware that systemic and structural challenges to freedom have not changed much. Prophetic ministry in the 21st century critically must grapple the issues and stand to support millennial activists with intergenerational voices proclaiming God’s demands for ethical praxis of faith, justice, and love.”
