Quotes:
“The impact of systemic racism is up close and personal with people that you know, and a lot of times we just don't talk about it.” -Latasha Morrison
“I think there's this fear that a deep confession is not something that the American church can survive.” -Esau McCaulley
“Repentance exists, because it presupposes sin. And if we can't repent, then we can't experience the fullness of redemption.” -Esau McCaulley
