Letters for Sept. 26: Religious groups to gather for Black lives and equity on Sept. 26 – The Virginian-Pilot – The Virginian-Pilot

But I will spend the rest of my life trying to end my contribution to that racism. Thats why I will be joining Catholic parishes and organizations from throughout Hampton Roads for the second Pilgrimage for Black Lives and Racial Equity on Sept. 26. We will gather at 10 a.m. at the 1619 landing historical marker at Old Point Comfort (near the gazebo at Fort Monroe) for prayer and reflection. Then, well caravan to the Emancipation Oak at Hampton University for prayer, reflection and a call to action at 11 a.m. We invite Catholics and other people of faith to gather with us, as we pray to the spirit of truth to touch the hearts of all Americans, to inspire our criminal justice and law enforcement systems, and to heal our deeply broken view of each other, as well as our deeply broken society.
