While the march from Selma to Montgomery lives in the collective memory as a high point of the Civil Rights Movement, there was something else blooming in Alabama beyond the terminus of the Edmund Pettus Bridge, just beyond the camera's eye. Stokely Carmichael—a dynamic, young organizer also from SNCC—used this moment on the sidelines to make connections in the crowd, gathering names and information. For Carmichael and the community whose stories he absorbed, this pivotal moment wasn't a culmination, but a beginning. Nowhere was this next battle better epitomized than in Lowndes County, Alabama, a rural, impoverished county with a vicious history of racist terrorism. In a county that was 80 percent Black but had zero Black voters, laws were just paper without power. This isn't a story of hope but of action. Through first person accounts and searing archival footage, LOWNDES COUNTY AND THE ROAD TO BLACK POWER tells the story of the local movement and young Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) organizers who fought not just for voting rights, but for Black Power in Lowndes County. Co-directors Geeta Gandhbir (Black and Missing,I Am Evidence) and Sam Pollard (MLK/FBI, Four Little Girls) join us for a conversation on bringing to life the activism and courage of people like Ella Baker, John Hulett, Courtland Cox, Ruby Sales, Reverend Wendell Paris and one of the most consequential Civil Rights leaders Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael).

This month, we feature an episode from a new podcast featuring Freedom Road's Lisa Sharon Harper: The FOUR. You can check out other episodes of The FOUR at thefour.black. Few have worked harder to cut and mend the ties between oppressor and oppressed than the one and only Ruby Nell Sales. The FOUR are honored to be joined by this iconic human rights activist, public theologian, and social critic. Ms. Sales' long fight for freedom began in the 1960s with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, SNCC, at Tuskegee University, as a student freedom fighter in Lowndes County, Alabama. And it nearly got her assassinated. Jonathan Daniels, a white freedom worker from Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, pulled Sales out of the line of fire. But Daniels was shot and killed. The assailant was acquitted by an all white jury. Ms. Sales witnesses profound strength in the American Black family, including her own. But for too many people of African descent, family stories were buried as a strategy to conquer us, and that toll remains to this day. It's something TheFour's Lisa Sharon Harper has taken on, documenting this nation's history through a richly researched 10 generations of her family story—Black, white and Native American—in her newest book, Fortune: How Race Broke My Family and the World and How to Repair It All. Like Harper's family story, Mama Ruby calls for repair through truth-telling, reparation and a measure of forgiveness to cut the ties that still bind.
**This is an encore episode originally released in December 2020** What does it mean to practice radical self-love? What are the downfalls of the term “anti-racism”? What is the importance of community in the fight for social justice? In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts and gives her own insights into multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism. In this episode, Jill interviews Ruby Sales, a human-rights activist, public theologian, and social critic. This conversation addresses the interpersonal conflict of minorities hating everything about themselves that isn't white and actively running away from their ethnic identities in order to claim whiteness. They dive into ways for other marginalized and oppressed cultures to claim their own identities without minimizing the realities of Black and indigenous peoples in America. BIO: Ruby Nell Sales is a nationally-recognized human-rights activist, public theologian, and social critic, whose articles and work appear in many journals, online sites, and books. Under the tutelage of Professor Jean Wiley, Sales joined the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in the 1960's as a teenager at Tuskegee University and went to work as a student freedom fighter in Lowndes County, Alabama. Sales serves as the founder and director of the SpiritHouse Project. SpiritHouse roots its work today in exposing the extrajudicial murders of African-Americans by White vigilantes and police.

LEAD HOST: Lisa Sharon Harper GUEST: Ruby Sales “I never will talk about my ancestors as being back in the day as they are part of a continuum.” Few have worked harder to cut and mend the ties between oppressor and oppressed than the one and only Ruby Nell Sales. The FOUR are honored to be joined by this iconic human rights activist, public theologian, and social critic. She offers wisdom beyond words for all of us on the unconquerable strength of the Black spirit through history; the subversiveness of prayer; and the “social and spiritual cataracts that interfere with the way we see ourselves.” Her resolute messages reverberate for future generations as she expresses concern for the false sense of freedom in the age of technocracy. Ms. Sales witnesses profound strength in the American Black family, including her own. But for too many people of African descent, family stories were buried as a strategy to conquer us, and that toll remains to this day. It's something TheFour's Lisa Sharon Harper has taken on, documenting this nation's history through a richly researched 10 generations of her family story—Black, white and Native American—in her newest book, Fortune: How Race Broke My Family and the World and How to Repair It All. Like Harper's family story, Mama Ruby calls for repair through truth-telling, reparation and a measure of forgiveness to cut the ties that still bind. Ms. Sales' long fight for freedom began in the 1960s with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, SNCC, at Tuskegee University, as a student freedom fighter in Lowndes County, Alabama. And it nearly got her assassinated. Jonathan Daniels, a white freedom worker from Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, pulled Sales out of the line of fire. But Daniels was shot and killed. The assailant was acquitted by an all white jury. Ms. Sales has bravely been on the national scene since, dedicated to the work of racial, sexual, gender, and class reconciliation, education, and awareness. She's been a mentor to many, including members of The FOUR. Her current project, SpiritHouse, plays leading roles in public policy debates on poverty, prison industrial complex, the shrinking budget for human needs, voting rights, privacy and judicial issues, and neo-conservatism; train grassroots volunteers and staff; and houses SisterAll Programs that bring together Black women from all walks of life to renew their historical roles as a community of activists, spiritual guides, and leaders on the front lines of racial, economic, and human rights, using non-violence and participatory democracy to build up a 21st-century front-line crusade for racial justice. Among her many recognitions and awards: Certificate of Gratitude for her work on Eyes on the Prize; featured in Broken Ground: A Film on Race Relations in the South; in 1999, Selma, Alabama gave her the key to the city to honor her contributions there; 2000, Dan Rather spotlighted her on his “American Dream” series; 2009, named a HistoryMaker for her contributions to civic affairs; 2013, awarded the Samuel DeWitt Proctor Conference Living Legacies Civil Rights Recognition Award; and in 2014, Sales was inducted into the Martin Luther King Jr. Board of Preachers at Morehouse College. Ruby Sales knows our ancestors are part of our continuum. Should you wish to find your family story, advances in genealogy, DNA science and increased availability of documentation are making it possible for us to reclaim our histories.

“Global White Supremacy: Baltimore to Palestine” Rev. Dr. Ruby N. Sales, Founder, Director, The Spirit House Faith Activist Liberationist, Journalist & Author From promulgating the racist birther conspiracy theory to exhorting vigilante Proud Boys to “stand by,” Donald Trump has amplified white nationalist ideas in the United States. But neither Trump's emergence nor his impact can be understood fully by looking at the United States in isolation. Rather, Trump must be understood for his place in a long line of Anglophone leaders who claimed to speak for besieged whites, with precedents including Ian Smith, the leader of the white minoritarian regime of Rhodesia, and Enoch Powell, the British MP who infamously warned of “rivers of blood” if Britain did not halt non-white immigration. Moreover, white nationalism is global not only in its history but in its present manifestations: white nationalists worldwide have hailed Trump's actions and would be emboldened by his reelection.

Consent Decree A Compromise between the parties to a litigation is generally recorded under O.23 R.3 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 that states as under: - “3. Compromise of suit— Where it is proved to the satisfaction of the Court that a suit has been adjusted wholly or in part by any lawful agreement or compromise in writing and signed by the parties or where the defendant satisfied the plaintiff in respect of the whole or any part of the subject-matter of the suit, the Court shall order such agreement, compromise satisfaction to be recorded, and shall pass a decree is accordance therewith so far as it relates to the parties to the suit, whether or not the subject-matter of the agreement, compromise or satisfaction is the same as the subject-matter of the suit:Provided that where it is alleged by one party and denied by the other that an adjustment or satisfaction has been arrived at, the Court shall decide the question; but not adjournment shall be granted for the purpose of deciding the question, unless the Court, for reasons to be recorded, thinks fit to grant such adjournment.Explanation—An agreement or compromise which is void or voidable under the Indian Contract Act, 1872 (9 of 1872), shall not be deemed to be lawful within the meaning of this rule;” Further, in the case of Ruby Sales and Services (P) Ltd. v. State of Maharashtra, (1994) 1 SCC 531, it was observed that: - “Merely because an agreement is put in the shape of a consent decree it does not change the contents of the document. It remains an agreement and it is subject to all rights and liabilities which any agreement may suffer. Having a stamp of court affixed will not change the nature of the document. A compromise decree does not stand on a higher footing than the agreement which preceded it. A consent decree is a mere creature of the agreement on which it is founded and is liable to be set aside on any of the grounds which will invalidate the agreement.” Observations by the Court According to the Court, the Consent Decrees are intended to create estoppels by judgment against the parties, thereby putting an end to further litigation between the parties. Therefore, normally, the Courts are hesitant to unilaterally interfere in, modify, substitute or modulate the terms of a consent decree, unless it is done with the revised consent of all the parties thereto. However, the Court further observed that this is not an absolute rule and cited the case of Byram Pestonji Gariwala v. Union Bank of India & Ors., (1992) 1 SCC 31, wherein it was held that “a consent decree would not serve as an estoppel, where the compromise was vitiated by fraud, misrepresentation, or mistake. Further, this Court in the exercise of its inherent powers may also unilaterally rectify a consent decree suffering from clerical or arithmetical errors, so as to make it conform with the terms of the compromise.” Held by the Court Upon considering the above-stated position of law, the Court held that though it would be cautious in exercising its inherent powers to interfere in a Consent Decree, yet in the present case, upon perusing the entire record, the Court was of the view that there are errors and inconsistencies in the Consent Decree that are apparent on the face of the record. Hence, the Court found this case a fit one to exercise the inherent jurisdiction to correct the terms of the consent decree, to bring it in conformity with the intended compromise and directed the parties to comply with the Consent Decree. Concluding Remarks In the instant case, the Court explained its power to rectify a Consent Decree in order make it conform with the terms of the Compromise. Though it is true that no modification in a Consent Decree should be made without revised consent of all the concerned parties, yet in situations, where there is a deadlock that has arisen due to an error apparent on the face of the record in the Consent Decree, the Court can very well modify the terms of the Consent Decree to do complete justice. Civil litigations usually take decades to reach to an end point and a Consent Decree in such cases is a valuable tool to preserve the precious judicial time of this country. Mere clerical or arithmetical errors should never come in the way of dispute resolution and the Courts should keep an open mind to correct such errors.
We can't fully know ourselves without other people. At the 2018 National Rural Assembly, legendary activist Ruby Sales said, “It is in community and in relationship with others that we locate a self that we can never find being isolated. It is in community and in relationship with each other that we come to know the consciousness and the spirit of god that is in each of us.” #tuesdayswithtawana is a weekly broadcast building community one episode at a time. As a breast cancer survivor in active treatment and a Ph.D. student, this is a creative way to build community in the midst of multiple pandemics. Let's build community together.

Today we discuss a central Christian concept: grace. What should lead to a spirituality of wonder, abundance, and radical hospitality has enabled myopia, stinginess, and abuse. A cheap or easy grace becomes a way to leave one's own toxicity unexamined even as one does terrible violence upon others. In the words of Ruby Sales: "the White Empire theology of easy grace promotes dismemory, artificial memory and detachment from the reality of individual and collective harmful and heinous acts against God, environment and humans."

What does it mean to practice radical self-love? What are the downfalls of the term “anti-racism”? What is the importance of community in the fight for social justice? What is the difference between seeing Covid as a war instead of a humanitarian crisis? In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts in multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism. In this episode, Jill interviews Ruby Sales, a human-rights activist, public theologian, and social critic. She is a self-described “long distance runner for justice” with a mission to find true connections between people with differing viewpoints, explain the importance of creating community with trust, and highlighting the ability for true change. This conversation addresses the interpersonal conflict of minorities hating everything about themselves that isn't white and actively running away from their ethnic identities in order to claim whiteness. They dive into ways for other marginalized and oppressed cultures to claim their own identities without minimizing the realities of Black and indigenous peoples in America. Sales discusses what keeps her accountable and the downfalls of the term “anti-racism”, which is a replication of white supremacy culture that only says what we're against and not what we're for. Ruby Nell Sales is a nationally-recognized human-rights activist, public theologian, and social critic, whose articles and work appear in many journals, online sites, and books. Under the tutelage of Professor Jean Wiley, Sales joined the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in the 1960's as a teenager at Tuskegee University and went to work as a student freedom fighter in Lowndes County, Alabama. Sales serves as the founder and director of the SpiritHouse Project. The SpiritHouse Project is a national nonprofit organization that uses the arts, research, education, action, and spirituality to bring diverse peoples together to work for racial, economic, and social justice, as well as for spiritual maturity. SpiritHouse roots its work today in exposing the extrajudicial murders of African-Americans by White vigilantes and police.

In this post-election episode, we talk with Margaret Ernst, program manager for Faith Matters Network. When we planned this interview, we knew we would talk about post-election resilience and what it means to be a white clergy leader in movement spaces. We didn’t know that Walter Wallace, her neighbor in Philadelphia, would be killed by police just days before our conversation. So you may hear the anxiety and heartbreak in our voices. In this conversation, Margaret lays out a timely call to action for white faith leaders. We talk about movement chaplaincy, the labor of spirit care work, and Margaret’s parent Carla - and Carla’s wisdom always to imagine themself forward. Margaret, who began her career in faith-rooted organizing with Faith in Action affiliate POWER Interfaith, is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ and a program manager with Faith Matters Network.

Going Deeper Have you ever felt “overlooked” in a way that you didn’t feel seen by someone else? What impresses you most about the leadership of the Early Church in Acts 6:1-7? If they did not respond to this complaint it would’ve crippled the church’s ability to grow—agree or disagree?Where do you have power and for whom will you leverage it? Teaching NotesIn those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. (Acts 6:1) Hebraic Jews - they were the ones who lived in Jerusalem, their heritage was from there, and they looked down on Jews were from other places Hellensitic Jews - which means, Greek Jews who were, now Jewish converts to Jesus but those deep-seeded rivalries were still in play. INTERNAL THREAT will take you down. Every time. The 5 Stages of How The Mighty Fall by Jim Collins Stage #1: Hubris Stage #2: More Stage #3: Denial Stage #4: Grasping Stage #5: Capitulation So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.” This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them. So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.Acts 6:2-7 Big Idea: Nothing is more powerful Than when those with power Leverage that power For the powerless. Q: So where do you have power? The 5 Stages of How The Mighty _______ #1 They Listened. In these moments, we listen for a person’s pain. Ruby Sales, civil rights leader: “Where does it hurt?” # 2 They Saw. ...because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. Acts 6:1“Overlook” Greek: paratheōreō theōreō - to see para - through This is the question everyone is asking: ‘“Do you see me?” # 3 They Did Something About It Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom…Acts 6:3They re-structured They set clear guidelines They communicated Established a feedback loop #4 They Empowered. We will turn this responsibility over to them… Acts 6:3 This proposal pleased the whole group. (Acts 6:5) Who did they choose? Hebraic Jews? Hellenistic Jews? #5 They Celebrated They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them. (Acts 6:6) Challenge: Where do you have power and how will you leverage it?

In this episode, Bishop Curry talks with legendary leader Ruby Sales about her long and enduring work for civil rights and freedom in the United States. The two discuss how she was introduced to these movements, her search for a calling, and the potential of The Episcopal Church to lead in honest racial justice and reconciliation. To Go on the Way of Love is to cross boundaries, listen deeply, and live like Jesus. To do any of these things, and to have any hope of healing, we need to be able to tell each other the truth and go, as Ruby Sales says, “where it hurts.” Bishop Curry and Sales discuss how going where it hurts led to an encounter with Jonathan Myrick Daniels, an Episcopal seminarian whose ministry in Lowndes County, Alabama would lead to his martyrdom and her decades-long legacy of justice-making. They describe seeing past a dualistic understanding of history and toward a spiritual revolution that can actually affect change in society.

Civil rights legend Ruby Sales learned to ask “Where does it hurt?” because it’s a question that drives to the heart of the matter — and a question we scarcely know how to ask in public life now. Sales says we must be as clear about what we love as about what we hate if we want to make change. And even as she unsettles some of what we think we know about the force of religion in civil rights history, she names a “spiritual crisis of white America” as a calling of today.Ruby Sales is the founder and director of The Spirit House Project in Atlanta. She is included in an oral history of the Civil Rights Movement at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.This interview is edited and produced with music and other features in the On Being episode "Ruby Sales — Where Does It Hurt?"

Public theologian Ruby Sales opens up what it was like to be a teenage participant in the civil rights movement — including the impatience she had with religion and how she circled back, through her experiences of the movement, to a sense of the deep reason for inner life and religious groundings. The question she carries with her, “Where does it hurt?”, models new ways for us to understand one another. Sales is the founder and director of the Spirit House Project.

Recently, near the feast day of Jonathan Myrick Daniels observed on August 14th in the Episcopal Church Lesser Feasts and Fasts calendar, I had the pleasure of re-discovering the public theologian Ruby Sales. Ruby Sales was the 16 year old student whom Jonathan Myrick Daniels pushed out of harms way in Fort Deposit, AL, on August 20th, 1965, when he saw Tom Coleman level a shotgun at her and he died a martyr having taken the full force of the shotgun blast. He would later be recognized a martyr by the Episcopal Church for his actions that day. Ruby Sales, went on to attend seminary and continue her civil rights and social justice work and continues her ministry and work through The Spirit House Project. The interview she gave on the On Being Podcast in August of 2017, is a must hear as it speaks deeply to the current situation facing all lives in the United States today. The show notes posted on our website at angelsofthenativity.org/speilumina will have links to that interview and to the blog post I wrote in 2015 remembering the 50th anniversary of the martyrdom of Jonathan Myrick Daniels. Theology and theologies have often been too heady for me and too philosophical and far removed from the day to day steps and progress I attempt to make in my spiritual journey. Ruby Sales sparks within me a desire to reflect on my role — as I continue along in my spiritual journey — in the theology/theologies she is calling all those involved in social justice, civil rights and faith to envision, when she says: “I really think that one of the things that we’ve got to deal with is that — how is it that we develop a theology or theologies in a 21st-century capitalist technocracy where only a few lives matter? How do we raise people up from disposability to essentiality?” — Ruby Sales

Ruby Nell Sales, Human Rights Activist, Public Theologian, Social Critic, and Civil Rights Activist joins Carol Jenkins to discuss gentrification, racism in America, social depression and Politics.
In her interview with Krista Tippett, civil rights icon Ruby Sales invites us to look into the collective consciousness of where we hurt. Sales “unsettles some of what we think we know about the force of religion in civil rights history, and names a “spiritual crisis of white America” as a calling of this time.” We discuss how historical shame in the white community has designed attitudes of denial and minimization towards the minority experience–and how wounds cannot heal until they cease being touched. REFERENCES / CREDITS: Where Does It Hurt? with Ruby Sales (Mp3 interview and Transcripts) – Krista Tippet Where Does it Hurt?: Overcoming the Pain of White Supremacy with Ruby Sales – The Roundtable Intercultural Development Continuum (IDC™) – IDC describes a set of knowledge/attitude/skill sets or orientations toward cultural difference and commonality that are arrayed along a continuum from the more monocultural mindsets of Denial and Polarization through the transitional orientation of Minimization to the intercultural or global mindsets of Acceptance and Adaptation.

October 17, 2016 - This week, our time machine travels back to 1965, where we'll meet Jonathan Daniels -- a white seminary student who answered Rev. Martin Luther King Jr’s call to help with voter registration in Loundes County, Alabama. After the voting rights marches, Daniels remained to assist civil rights workers -- and gave his life saving black teenager Ruby Sales from a shotgun blast. Today, you can find Dr. Sales at The Spirit House, still working for the cause of civil rights. Rich Wallace and Sandra Neil Wallace -- like Jonathan Daniels -- live in New Hampshire, where they discovered this local hero's sacrifice through his letters, papers, taped interviews, and stunning photographs -- many, never before shared with the public. The result is the book, Blood Brother: Jonathan Daniels and His Sacrifice for Civil Rights. You've seen Sandra Neil Wallace's work as a news anchor and ESPN sportscaster. Rich Wallace has written over three dozen novels for children and teens, and co-wrote titles such as Babe Conquers the World with Sandra. The Young Adult Library Services Association named his novel Wrestling Sturbridge, one of the 100 Best of the Best for the Twenty-First Century.

Did you sit it out until the justice system announced that there was a reasonable explanation to the murder of 12-year old Tamir Rice? Yeah, well most Black people did and now they are outraged. Who is Accountable ? Did we sleep through 1,126 police killings before we decided that it was about us? Then there is the court and juries ? Applying two standards which favor the police.

Recorded at the 2015 Annual Meeting of the AAR in Atlanta, GA. The 2015 annual meeting focused on “Valuing the Study of Religion,” which includes pondering how religion has been valued—and devalued—in public spaces. Addressing a variety of social spaces from the legislature to the streets, this panel analyzes religious responses to racial injustice. In 2015, the fiftieth anniversary of the historic march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, attending to injustice seems more morally urgent than ever. Considering both the historical trajectory that led us to this painful moment and the religious resources activists have employed, this conversation brings together notable voices to offer their assessments of the contemporary situation. Ruby Sales, the human rights activist and public theologian who joined the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in the 1960s and later founded a non-profit organization dedicated to “racial, economic, and social justice,” joins Cornel West, distinguished religion scholar and democratic intellectual, in a conversation with Professor Imani Perry, a celebrated scholar of African American Studies and Law who has written eloquently about racial injustice and “pathways to freedom, equality, and enriched democracy.” Panelists: Imani Perry, Princeton University Cornel West, Union Theological Seminary Ruby Nell Sales, SpiritHouse Project, Atlanta, GA Thomas A.
