Cornell William Brooks, Visiting Professor of the Practice of Prophetic Religion and Public Leadership at HDS and a Harvard Kennedy School faculty member, and Linda Bilmes, Daniel Patrick Moynihan Senior Lecturer in Public Policy at HKS, explore why the extensive U.S. system of restorative justice is so disconnected from the multi-faceted, intergenerational harms suffered by Black Americans.

Crying Out in the Wilderness

December 5, 2021
"The way of love into the wilderness of our world is difficult, but it would be a lie to say that God has not yet given us the gifts that we need to respond. Our world faces terrible questions, questions to which we do not yet have answers, but we have been given the means to face those questions and to live through them," said the The Reverend Matthew Ichihashi Potts, PhD, Pusey Minister in the Memorial Church, HDS Plummer Professor of Christian Morals, during a sermon at the Memorial Church.
