A day where our schools are as well funded, as the needs demand. A day where the legal system learns to focus more squarely on the facts, And the not colors of our skin. May we come to see a day where the prison system Becomes redemptive, not punitive. We know this day will not come until we as a people Make different choices. May the day come when these stories Are so wildly taught that no month need Be separately divided. Help us to realize that Black history is All our histories. This month in our nation's character Is Black History month. Spirit of Abundance, God of Grace, Mother of Hope, We pause now to remember those stories that are all around us, But so often passed over, Those stories that when told are shared because Of what someone is, not who they are. A world I dream where black or white, Whatever race you be, Will share the bounties of the earth And every man is free, Where wretchedness will hang its head And joy, like a pearl, Attends the needs of all mankind- Of such I dream, my world! - Langston Hughesīack to Top Prayer for Black History Month I dream a world where man No other man will scorn, Where love will bless the earth And peace its paths adorn I dream a world where all Will know sweet freedom's way, Where greed no longer saps the soul Nor avarice blights our day. Prayers for Racial Justice and Reconciliation Prayers.
