Description
In this issue of the Outlook, you’ll find black-and-white photographs and sepia-toned pages from previous (think decades-ago) Outlook magazines and historical archives, and they often are alongside color photos. We sit at this crossroads of what is history and what is now. The tenets of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s remain, as well as the demand for equality, voter rights, equal education, safe and affordable housing and living wages. The struggle continues to create a standard of life that lives into the vision of beloved community.
In this issue, we trace some of the historical steps that Presbyterians in the U.S. took toward (or away from) civil rights, and we also examine the ways in which Presbyterians today are working to build a more just, equitable world.
