Meeks: On the slandering of innocent people

Catherine Meeks, recipient of the President Joseph R. Biden Lifetime Achievement and Service Award and the retired Clara Carter Acree Distinguished Professor of Socio-Cultural Studies at Mercer University penned a column objecting to the “slandering of innocent people” in Baptist News Global.

Excerpts:

“I look forward to having a political climate where civility, respect, expressions of care for the land and all of the people who live here regardless of how they arrived will be the dominant way that political business is conducted.

“I look forward to the day when the pervasive negative energy, which is grounded in evil that is haunting our country at the moment, will be far less powerful.

“I look forward to when we are conducting ourselves as a nation of people who have hope and who are willing to work for the common good as we face our challenges and triumphs.”
