In a time of deep political polarization and social fragmentation, Dr. Theon E. Hill will offer a lecture inspired by the prophetic voice of James Baldwin to illuminate a path of hope, justice, and radical love. Baldwin’s profound writings challenge us to confront the deep-rooted injustices that divide our communities while holding fast to a vision of human dignity and divine reconciliation.
Rooted in Baldwin’s nuanced understanding of American identity, social struggle, and spiritual transformation, this presentation explores how Christian faith calls us to be agents of both love and justice—a calling that refuses to be trapped by ideological echo chambers or passive acceptance of systemic wrongs. Participants will be challenged to see justice not as a political weapon, but as a sacred expression of God’s heart for human wholeness and dignity. Drawing from Baldwin’s powerful insight that “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced,” Dr. Hill will offer a compelling vision of hope—a hope that is active, courageous, and deeply rooted in both love and the pursuit of justice. Specifically, the presentation will challenge listeners to move beyond surface-level reconciliation, calling instead for a robust, faith-driven approach to justice.
