Interwoven Congregations organizes online and in-person events to support congregations in their work for racial justice. If you happened to miss one, you can access the recordings below!
Juneteenth Public Reading
We held a public reading of excerpts from Dr. Annette Gordon-Reed's powerful and very personal text "On Juneteenth." Through poignant historical recountings of the founding of Texas, the experience of slavery and
Jim Crow in the Lone Start state, and her personal experience of growing up in Conroe, TX, Dr. Gordon-Reed brings home the significance of Juneteenth. The FULL event recording runs 76 minutes. You can also access the event as Part I (40 mins) and Part II (36 mins) if you would like to host a viewing and discussion over two separate dates.
Interwoven Roundtable with Leaders from the NAACP
The inaugural Interwoven Congregations Roundtable featured a conversation with NAACP leaders Rev. Dr. DeLishia Davis and Rev. Dr. Jeanetta Lee. Catch the recording of our discussion about how the NAACP in Virginia is working today to promote racial justice and how congregations -- wherever you're located in the country -- can be a part of this work!
Letter from a Birmingham Jail
Twenty-four people joined together as readers from across the U.S., the U.K., the Netherlands and Ghana to present in its entirety Dr. King's Letter from a Birmingham Jail. It also includes the precipitating letter, on Good Friday of 1963, from 8 white clergy advising Dr.
King to slow things down. Here is the FULL event recording from this epic epistle which could well serve as the manifesto of the Civil Rights movement and still speaks with clarity and urgency today.

Janet Thompson Jackson (full disclosure, the wife of Rev. Pat Jackson) offered this valuable webinar on "Understanding and Healing Racial Trauma." In the webinar, Janet explored the meaning of trauma and how it is experienced interpersonally, institutionally, structurally, and intergenerationally. In the second half of the webinar, she focused on the intersection of racial trauma and wellbeing, and in an interactive way provided information and tools to help heal racial trauma.
