…have come to call the ‘Juneteenth conundrum’ is who is greeted by whom? In 2021, while at a summer solstice festival that happened to coincide with Juneteenth I recall with sheer amusement as two well-meaning, culturally sensitive White women approached tepidly to ask if they could wish me and my companions (all Black) a “Happy Juneteenth.” Our collective response, “sure,” and to their surprise I uttered with a straight face, “Thank you.

The Theology Behind Alabama Official’s Demand to Flout SCOTUS

By Sarah Posner

…le of this State, their children, your children and grandchildren to the wolves, those who would rend the society apart with their denial of what’s good and evil?” The government official’s duty, he continues, “is to stand against the ravages of a superior authority that would go beyond its rightful power and force upon the people something evil.” That passage, said Ingersoll, doesn’t use the term “lesser magistrate,” but is very clearly drawn fro…
