Dear Friend,

In honor and celebration of Black History Month, as we reflect upon the contributions of Black Americans, Sojourners is pleased to offer a chance to hear from Rev. Dr. Yolanda Pierce, Dean of the Howard University School of Divinity, this Wednesday, February 24, 6 - 7 p.m. EST, about her new book, In My Grandmother’s House: Black Women, Faith, and the Stories We Inherit.

Rev. Dr. Pierce is the creator and curator of “Touching the Sacred,” an exhibit on material religion and the Black church, and is a member of the Modern Language Association, the American Academy of Religion, and the American Historical Association. Most recently, she contributed to the PBS special “The Black Church: This is Our Story, This is Our Song.”

She will be joined in conversation by Rev. Terrance McKinley, director of racial justice mobilizing at Sojourners.

We hope that you will join us this Wednesday, February 24, 6 - 7 p.m. EST on our Facebook and Twitter pages. This event is free and open to the public. We encourage you to share this invitation with your networks. You will not want to miss the reflections of Rev. Dr. Yolanda Pierce.

In peace and gratitude,

Rev. Terrance M. McKinley
Director, Racial Justice Mobilizing
