SUMMARY:Vigil for Racial Justice
DESCRIPTION:The verdicts delivered in the murder trial of George Floyd remind us that incidental accountability is still possible in today’s world—even as comprehensive justice and an end to systemic racism remain goals not yet accomplished. The memory of George Floyd gasping for breath beneath the literal knee of oppression haunts us. And the growing list of names of people killed by police shootings\, the rising injury and death toll caused by American gun violence\, and the widespread acts of racial bigotry inflicted on African Americans and people of color—including Asian Americans\, Pacific Islanders\, Latinx\, Native Americans and others—all of this compels us to gather as a witness fully committed to the work yet to be done. \nPeople are invited to stand vigil around ELPC holding up signs that reflect our community’s commitment to affirm Black Lives Matter\, that allow us to continue saying George Floyd’s name and invoke the names of other victims of racist and police-based violence\, and that acknowledge how the struggle for true justice extends before us\, calling us toward a horizon of equality\, equity\, and a Beloved Community. We ask that all participants be masked and willing to observe safe social distancing during this event. \nPlease join us for this ecumenical\, interfaith public vigil. May our combined presence be the voice crying out for waters of justice to pour down mightily in our land. May our common witness be the plowshare of hope fashioned from the broken swords and weapons of racial injustice. \n\nSponsored by National Black Presbyterian Caucus (Pittsburgh Chapter) and East Liberty Presbyterian Church \nPhoto by Jared Wickerham\, Pittsburgh City Paper
