Newman Nights: Black Lives Matter

How does the Catholic faith address the pernicious effects of racism still prevelant in our society? Where does Catholicism intersect with activism, solidarity, and liberation with and for the oppressed in America and beyond? What can we do, inspired by religion, to critically examine our consciences and culture, learn about our privilege, and combat social issues that affect all of us?  

Panel discussion moderated by Mathew Gonzalez and including the first black Catholic priest ordained in Northern California, Fr. Jay Matthews, Rector of Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland, and other religious and lay panelists.
