Psalms of Lament, Anger, and Sorrow for Racial Justice

Chloe Becker, a 2019 Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice mainstage speaker, partnered with a teacher from Magnificat high school to create psalms for racial justice. 

Read Chloe's Black Lives Matter: A Psalm of Lament and Anger and Sadie Curtin's Black Lives Matter: A Psalm of Lament and Sorrow.

Black Lives Matter

"I’m baffled that it took nearly a decade for the U.S. to unite in a national outcry in support of Black Lives Matter and the re-thinking of policing," writes ISN's director of education and advocacy for migration, José Arnulfo Cabrera, as he reflects on his own experiences with policing.
