The Soul Stirrer with embodied faith in action - Interview with Rev. Osagyefo Sekou.
The Sanctified Segue - “People Get Ready’” Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions
Rev. Osagyefo Sekou is considered one of the foremost religious leaders of his generation. In response to the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina, Rev. Sekou moved to New Orleans for six month and founded the Interfaith Worker Justice Center for New Orleans, opening a Worker’s Rights Legal Clinic and working with organizing labor toward the unionization of the hotel workers.
Rev. Sekou is the new Associate Minister for Social Justice, Missions, and Community Action at the Middle Collegiate Church in New York city. He will be in Austin July 20 at the Netroots Nation convention speaking on a panel, “Whatever Happened to the Religious Left?” He writes that The hope for an authentic Religious Left that can salvage our democracy lies in the theological genius of African American slaves.
His perspectives will be part of the anthology “Dispatches from the Religious Left: the Future of Faith and Politics in America”, to be released this Fall by IG Publishing.
