This week’s lecture was given by Dr. Cain Hope Felder of the School of Divinity. He gave a speech explaining the meaning of the title “Practice of Freedom and Justice: Representative Thinking. This week’s lecture was about the human right of having freedom and justices that come with that. Freedom is defined as the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint. He explained that practice of freedom goes has a long history together. This history has been a tragedy for most human beings at one or many points in history. Freedom for African Americans is still a topic that needs to be touched on. From being only considered someone’s property from being someone’s slave to having the largest incarceration rates from the corrupted law system, African Americans have been fighting for freedom since the day we stepped on the soil of this land. Because we are the minority group, we will be treated accordingly. The law system is in place and only works for the majority group. It does not work in the hands of the minority groups which mean we all work together to find a solution to this problem.
Fighting for freedom, whether it be for an individual or a whole group of people, can be done with us all working together. Freedom can be an everlasting occurrence rather than to be an ideology if we all just simply fight against the ignorance. Freedom is what everyone deserves and we should all exercise that right.
