*“Where is the Hope?”  with Rev. June R. Cooper*




Signs of Hope-Derrick Bell a noted Harvard Professor wrote a book called
Faces at the Bottom of the Well, The Permanence of Racism (1992) in which
he states that racism is a permanent feature of American society. Do we
accept this claim or do we see hope rising for recent protest and calls for
police reform?

*• Reverend Cooper* is the Executive Director of City Mission Boston a
social justice organization that is addressing family homelessness and
racial inequity and reconciliation. She also serves as the Theologian in
the City at Old South Church in Copley Square.



*Music by Beatrice Greene*

performed Spirit Warriors, a piano composition commissioned by the UN
Women’s Reporting Network (WUNRN) in 2005. Her music and writing highlights
social justice, spirituality, nature, and science.

*12/20 - "The Culture of Despair" with Chris Hedges* The rupture of social
bonds throughout American society has created a culture of despair, one
where individuals and groups seek affirmation in acts of self-destruction.
How do we restore those bonds? And if we cannot what will it mean for the
United States and the world? *Music by Dean Stevens and Rob Flax*

*12/27 - *
