Friday Fruit (08/19/16)

On Fridays, BTSF offers links to other discussions about race & Christianity. It's an opportunity for you to read other perspectives, and for me to give props to the many voices leading the way...

Weekly Round Up:

• Justice Department to Phase Out Federal Private Prisons

• The White Supremacist Roots of Evangelicalism

• 7 Chicago Cops Implicated in Alleged Cover-Up of Laquan McDonald Shooting

• The Company Behind the Dakota Access Pipeline is Suing a Tribal Chairman

• Wisconsin county clerk objects to weekend voting because it gives urban areas ‘too much access’

• On Nate Parker, Rape and the Perils of Double Consciousness

• #BlackLivesMatter Hashtag Has Encouraged Racial Discourse

• Some Residents Want Summer Policing Program To Go Away
