The Quarantine Tapes - 147
Reverend William Barber & Eddie S. Glaude Jr.
”Who is at the center of your vision? ‘Cause if the poor and the sick and the unemployed and those facing eviction are not at the center of your vision, you will misuse your position because nothing is guiding you.”
On episode 147 of The Quarantine Tapes, guest host Eddie Glaude is joined by Reverend William Barber. Eddie and Williams have a stirring conversation about how this moment of death and grief fits into a long history of acceptable deaths in the United States.
William calls this a Christmas moment for America, urging us to understand the work that needs to be done in order to reach for healing and justice. They talk about what faith can mean in this moment as William draws lessons from the Bible about how to be critical of the system and continue pushing for real justice.
