I noticed on Fri that there was no thread @ Martin Luther King Day & didn't have time to post 3 great articles @ http://www.christianitytoday.com
Can't find them here:- http://ctlibrary.com/ - one of them was titled 'battling racism'
Any US folk wanna share its impact?
Did it feature discussion of what to do @ today's awful human trafficking & sex slave trade?
Back to link our recent thread @ it:-

Here's http://www.crosswalk.com details of UK march in March:-
Archbishops to Lead March Commemorating Ending of Slave Trade
A march of repentance expressing sorrow for the Church of England’s part in the slave trade is slated to take place in late March, ASSIST News Service reports. It will involve the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, who will lead thousands of people through London, while carrying a giant cross.
According to Ekklesia, "moments of quiet reflection will punctuate the procession as African drummers beat a somber lament. The march will culminate in a symbolic ‘release from the past,’ possibly in the form of a replica slave auction notice being torn up or shackles being removed from the cross."
The "walk of witness" on March 24 coincides with the bicentennial of the abolition of the slave trade.
It is the latest stage in the church’s commemorations since Feb. 2006 when the General Synod voted to apologize for its involvement in slavery.
