What Junteenth means to me today is my beginning to listen and see my black brothers and sisters in the image of God while I begin to see my own racism in my heart as well as the systemic injustices in our county today. I am learning to grieve and lament my personal impact and our white churches impact and our countries impact of our sins of racism and injustice. Ezekiel 9:4 strongly spoke to me saying I have not sighed nor groaned over the injustices committed to our black brothers and sisters. I intentionally am choosing now to be in relationship with those in my life and be more in solidarity with the injustices suffered.
