Witness to Difficult History

We are called to bear witness to difficult history. We are called to tell stories of violence and pain and hatred and terror. We are called to tell stories of resistance and community and reclaiming power, too.

We remember in order to be able to imagine a world without violence and hatred and terror, a world in which love, justice, and mercy have won.

We remember because in order to get everyone free, we need to understand the origins of their chains.

How can you bear witness to difficult history?
