March 25, 2026 should not pass quietly.
Yesterday, the United Nations adopted a resolution declaring the transatlantic trafficking of enslaved Africans and racialized chattel enslavement to be “the gravest crime against humanity.” The vote was 123 in favor, 3 against, and 52 abstentions.
Let that settle in.
For those who keep telling Black people that racism is over, that our struggle is imagined, that our wounds are exaggerated, this moment stands as a witness against that lie. Even when so much media here refuses to tell the truth about our condition, the truth still rises.
And let us be clear: the United States voted against that resolution.
So when we speak of generational trauma, stolen dignity, fractured families, economic plunder, cultural erasure, and the ongoing struggle for liberation, we are not inventing ghosts. We are naming history, and we are naming the living consequences of history.
This should affirm your life.
Your parents’ life.
Your ancestors’ life.
Your children’s life.
God does not dismiss the suffering of a people. He is near to the brokenhearted, and He is not blind to injustice.
As James Cone wrote, “Truth is divine action entering our lives and creating the human action of liberation.”
And as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, “Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”
So no, we will not bow our minds.
We will not surrender our memory.
We will not let the enemy subjugate our thinking and blind us to who we are.
Peter called us a royal priesthood. That means we do not live as a broken people without dignity, voice, or calling. We stand. We remember. We tell the truth. We labor for justice. And we move forward with the strength of those whom God has not forgotten.
Watch the video. Read the vote. Tell the truth.
God bless.
