In the fall of 2019, a small group in a Northern Virginia church got together to learn about one of our country’s original national sins, chattel slavery, and its insidious legacy impact on America today. A pastor and his wife, experienced group facilitators, guided us along with two basic resources, both of which are described further below. The first resource gave us common ground, the second resource provided strong study references and time for reflection. The material was and is flexible; some participants only had the chance to skim it while others dove in deeply for our weekly discussion.
The discussion group’s code of conduct encouraged humility, respect, and giving grace to each person in the room. The journey educated us, humbled us, and encouraged us to dive deeper into making a difference, including offering this study again and again, resulting in sharing this study across the country. We have come to call this study our “foundational study”, anchored by the American Lament.
