When they see us

This is a Netflix film based on the case called 'The Central Park 5'- where five African American boys were accused of raping a white woman.  This film depicts actions from arrest, through President Trump calling for their execution, to their being fully exonerated.

For me, it is a horror film (I can't watch them...stomach can't take it) that many of Black Americans live.  Seeing it on the screen would bring back too many suppressed memories of life here in the USA.

I pray that for those that do watch it, a light will brighten and lead them to Isaiah 1:16-17, 10:1,2 and ultimately to action.  We Christians have been called many times to seek justice- especially for the powerless, for the stranger, for the sojourner.

Rise, o Church.
