Episode 79: A continuation with Cherry Steinwender and Joel Goza

KPFTOJ

This month marks one year since the horrific police murder of Houston’s George Floyd in Minneapolis, a galvanizing moment for the Black Lives Matter movement and the cause of racial justice in the United States and across the world. Open Journal has presented a series of discussions on race and racism over the course of time, especially this past year. Cherry Steinwender is founder and co-director of the Houston-based Center for the Healing of Racism - dedicated to the healing of racism through education and empowerment since 1989. Joel Goza is a Houston-based writer, minister and advocate. His first book, “America’s Unholy Ghosts: The Racist Roots of Our Faith and Politics” - is an examination of the religious and secular thinkers who inspired our Founding Fathers and leaders’ addiction to racist and classist ideas.
