Humans of HDS
Amos Jackson III, MDiv '23
"Healing matters to the oppressed, the disenfranchised, the poor, and the hungry. People can get justice, they can get policies and even resources, but it’s the healing that actually helps them to move forward. If an individual gets justice but still carries trauma, are they really obtaining true justice?"
