When I was a child, #HarryBelafonte showed up for my family in very compassionate ways.
In fact, he paid for the babysitter for me and my siblings.
Here he is mourning with my mother at the funeral service for my father at Morehouse College.
I won’t forget…Rest well, sir.
A happy memory: 2013 when #HarryBelafonte , Joan Baez and my dad were honored by the War Resisters League. Belafonte quoted King who was accused of “preaching to the choir.” “If I stop preaching to the choir they might stop singing.” He told the activists: “Keep singing.”
Rest in peace and power, Mr. Harry Belafonte. It was a pleasure being introduced to you 32 years ago when you visited Sister Thea Bowman at the Institute for Black Catholic Studies. Mr. Belafonte was contemplating producing a bio pic on Sister Thea’s life.
@ChismJonathan Congratulations, Dr. Chism on your UHD Service Award, Faculty Funded Leave, and promotion and tenure! Outstanding! UHD is blessed to have you and your stellar scholarship.
“...we must preach as Catholics, how to preach anti-racism homilies that we tend to skirt away from, because we don’t want people to be upset.”

Contemplative, holistic, biblical, joyful, and communal. @MJNutt1906 says these are the characteristics of Black spirituality. But how can we incorporate them into the practices of the #CatholicChurch? Listen here: https://t.co/IOd2N9nNBu
