*“And if ever we feel like we no longer have the strength to speak, when the weight of injustice feels too heavy to bear. I invite you to listen with me to the moans of the church mothers. The moans of Mother Raulston. The moans of Mother Maddox. And the moans of Mother Smith and Mother Poole who knew that even when words failed they could make some noise and show some sign that they were still here. So, mm won't you moan with me? We cannot be quiet, because we need to remember the words of the hymn. Kings and kingdoms shall all pass away. But there is something about that name. That's why we won't be quiet. And that's why we won't shut up. Won't you pray with me?” **- Micah Washington MDiv III, Harvard Divinity School***
