Thank you for sharing these important experiences and thoughts. The energy they carried forward continues in us. The energy that uplifts always meets the challenges of the energies that pull down. We aim for balance.
Thank you Bryant for this eloquent post celebrating both ritual and ascended Archbishop Desmond Tutu. This was a hope the former organization NCCJ (now One Jax) had in 1999 when we helped organize the 40th observance of Ax Handle Saturday. This day languished in obscurity, when Rodney Hurst and Alton Yates approached several organizations with the hope that recognition of this day would spark healing and constructive dialogue. Ritual is powerful, prompting self introspection and safe space for sharing different points of view. Thank you again for this powerful message.
Thanks so much Laura. Your commitment and determination has made all that happen, setting a firm foundation for all the work that's followed. Jacksonville is a better city because of that work with NCCJ and the Ax Handle Saturday remembrance rituals.🙏🏾
