Real talk about race...and the Bible...at the same time?!

Public theologian Ekemini Uwan and Christian activist Jason Fileta discuss the significance of this moment in United States history: a woman of color has been nominated by the Democratic Party to run for the Presidency. They discuss Shirley Chisholm, the first black woman to run for president in 1972, and the impact Kamala Harris' running in 2024 will have on young women of every demographic in our country. Could the historic nature of her candidacy be reason to celebrate for Americans on both sides of the aisle?
