Quotes:
“A part of that restoration and reproduction work is leveraging your position, leveraging your privilege, leveraging your God given gifts to do something about the systemic issues that we are facing as it relates to racial injustice in our country.” -Latasha Morrison

“We know this is not justice, this is not making things right. But we just feel like it's better to do something than to do nothing. And it's simply an act of love that is for a few people that we wish we could do for more.” -Durwood Snead

“If you live in a predominantly white area historically, there's a reason why it's like that, especially in the south.” -Latasha Morrison

“When we're not overshadowing this with all of our partisanship, and we're not overshadowing this with a lot of cultural things that's happening, and if we're looking at this as a biblical concept, we understand that this is right.” -Latasha Morrison

“The truth sets everybody free. We don't need to hide anything. We just need to lay it out there.” -Durwood Snead

“Until we go back and pull back the covers on some of this history, we don't understand the context.” -Latasha Morrison
