Posted By: HBCU CONNECT on January 24, 2022 Check out this video from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia! “The ancestors’ strength don’t exist just so that we can become capitalists. Imagine if we…understood, our power, our spirit, our chi this hour and focus on becoming more free. This week brothers, as we move, let us carry with us…the ancestors. Let us think about how we can serve our people and our purpose and how we can inherit all that the living God has for us. Fight the distractions this week, my Morehouse Brothers, who can do anything, by doing only what will serve your people and your purpose.” - Rev. Julian DeShazier, M.Div./J.Kwest As a national speaker, advocate and emcee, Julian “J.Kwest” DeShazier (@purekwest) has appeared on BBC, FOX, NPR and Dr. Maya Angelou’s “Oprah & Friends” radio program.
