Howard Thurman on Tears of the Oppressed - Black Church (Revelation 21:4)

Source: Howard Thurman46 words

"God wipes the tears of the oppressed—tears from slavery, from lynching, from exile. The spirituals sang of this: 'No more weepin' and wailin'! No more death from injustice; no more mourning from violence. The disinherited inherit; the crucified rise." — Howard Thurman. Black Church: liberation fulfilled.
