Our Work Today
Breaking The
Silence on Modern-Day Lynching
A report issued by the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement said that one black man is killed in America every 36 hours.
Although the crime rate in the United States is going down, the percentage of police shootings is increasing... and the disturbing
fact is that the white police are shooting black, unarmed victims.

Voices Fellowship
Created in Fall 2013, in honor of the late N. Gordon Cosby, the founder and spiritual director of the Church of the Saviour community
in Washington, D.C.
Rev. Dr. Susan K. Smith has been named our First Seasoned Voice Fellow. She is a seasoned voice of 58 years, who served more than 22
