GEORGETOWN — When the Rev. Dr. William Barber speaks, his listeners lean in. His large frame bent forward, the lilt in his voice easily fills the space between them as he preaches on racial and economic equality and justice.
But on this muggy, overcast morning in Georgetown, a suburban community north of Austin, the pastor turned activist did not rise to sermonize. On Wednesday, and for the next few days, his ministry will be carried out by marching.
Hope this moves the needle
Churches within African American communities have been the primary places where racial change movements have been organized among African Americans.
Marching in support of a cause, or protesting one; a tried and true way to rally communities together around making meaningful change in public policy. It worked during the Civil Rights Movement, and not, about 60 years later, it'll have to work here.
