Ebony C. Peace: Holy Mothers, Holy Rage

Each culture has its own expectations on what constitutes a “good mother”. Our faith tradition calls us to act on the inherent worth and dignity of every person and affirm justice, equity, and compassion in human relations – yet in practice, many mothers of color experience disparate treatment. Regardless of which culture they identify with, history is clear that when mothers get angry, things change. This sermon will reflect on the pressures and cultural construction of motherhood and how a mother’s rage is often the catalyst for social, political, and meaningful change.
