Samuel DeWitt Proctor Conference

SM 05/25/26
20 Jordan Fifteen4TheFuture - Rev. Dr. Justin Lester Tonight, we revisit our Juiy, 2025 Critical Conversation, AI-101 with Rev. Dr. Justin Lester, pastor, author, educator and strategist, Sr. Pastor of Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in Vallejo, CA, known online as . Dr. Lester shares that the techniques, of the people of African-descent, are the actual technology that the dominant culture is now trying to replicate and capitalize on through AI. Referencing Ruha Benjamin's groundbreaking book, "The Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code, he illuminates the desire of dominant culture to return to the days of slavery - profit without sweat equity. Please consider partnering with us and commit to a monthly investment of $15.00 (just .50 cents a day!), as we continue to move towards a 22nd Century vision of faith and futuring Black lives.

"Through education, advocacy, and activism, we interrupt injustice!" How do we accomplish this call to action? We design a future where WE are in it... and where WE are flourishing in the midst of those who are seeking to eliminate us.

We know we cannot do this work without your support, your prayers, and your generosity!
