February 2, 2025 Celebration – Strangers In This Land, The Great Migration

by | Feb 1, 2025 | Announcements

Sunday at Pebble, as Black History Month begins, we’ll consider one of the most significant movements of Americans in our country’s history. 

During the 20th century, more than six million African Americans migrated from the southern states to cities they hoped would offer opportunity and a more just social system.

 As Richard Wright wrote, “I was taking a part of the South to transplant in alien soil, to see if it could grow differently . . . respond to the warmth of other suns . . . and perhaps, to bloom.”

 Rev. Rosalind will share Isabel Wilkerson’s 2010 masterpiece The Warmth of Other Suns, and we’ll talk together about what it is like to be displaced from one’s home, forcibly or willingly.  When does one stop being ‘a stranger in this land’?

And remember to check announcements before leaving home on the snowy Sundays.

 Join us for celebration every Sunday at 10:30am in person (usually!) or on Zoom.
