Joint statement from RC Birmingham and The Church of England Birmingham regarding the major incident in the city centre. buff.ly/3bvD6uK

Disturbed to find out today that whether it be through negligence or intent my predecessor + Sentamu has not been given the peerage that has been the custom for many years. I trust this will soon be rectified. House of Lords will benefit from his voice.

Dick Newby Archbishop John Sentamu’s record speaks for itself, outstanding leader who spoke up and spoke out about issues, when many preferred to bury their heads in the sand. Drain the swamp!! #HouseOfLords

Rosa sat, so Ruby could walk, so Kamala could run. #powertoblackwomen #thedreamisalive

On a day for the history books, Amanda Gorman delivered a poem that more than met the moment. Young people like her are proof that "there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it; if only we're brave enough to be it."

For my own mental well-being I am not doing media interviews on the race commission today. Like so many in Britain’s Black community I’m tired! Tired of the endless debate about whether structural racism exists with little desire to actually address it. We are being gaslighted.

'The picture they're painting is a fairytale' Professor of Black Studies, Kehinde Andrews says the findings from the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities are "ludicrous" and claims "it was never a genuine attempt to deal with the issue of racism." trib.al/VUO5BIK

“But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream” (Amos 5:24).

Remembering Stephen Lawrence. Gone but never forgotten. Your legacy lives on. Rest in Power... #StephenLawrence #StephenLawrenceDay

It is time for action!

"Our mandate flows not from identity politics but from our identity in Christ. This is our primary identity and it is in the character and being of Christ that we find the reason and motivation to combat racism.” Such a helpful framing of #LamentToAction report The Church of England

#Pentecost Come Holy Spirit, break the chains of all forms of injustice everywhere to set people free so everyone can live to their full potential. John 3:16

14 year-old Dea-Jon was chased by a group of white men/boys in Kingstanding, Bham & stabbed to death. People heard them shouting “get the ni**er” as they chased him. White supremacist violence alive and well, but lets keep saying its an American problem. birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…
