The prophetic power of faith was on display at the Justice For All rally and march held in Washington D.C. on Saturday. Thousands of people of all races and religions came together to protest police brutality, the lack of indictment of the police officers involved in the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, and the systematic racism in the criminal justice system.
Organized by the Rev. Al Sharpton, the peaceful rally included prayers at the opening rally in Freedom Plaza near the White House; and prayer again at the closing rally where Rev. W. Franklyn Richardson offered a prophetic prayer for justice that opened by petitioning ‘Mother/Father God’ and ended with thousands of people holding hands and responding with a resounding ‘Amen.’
Throughout the diverse crowd, people from different religious traditions showed how their faith inspired their call for justice. If you have a photo of faith at one of the rallies for racial justice around the country that you would like to add to this list please tweet it to @Raushenbush.
