For 45 years\, Rev. Angie Wright has fought for racial justice and immigrant rights in Alabama and the South.  \nThe animating question of her life and work has been how to stand against hate without hating the haters — no small order for a white Southern pastor and activist whose family’s legacy was corrupted by racism and antisemitism.\n\nRev. Wright’s memoir\, Loving My Enemies & Other Outlandish Pursuits\, explores questions most of us have to face at some time in our lives: How do we reconsider our relationship with people we’ve been taught to hate and fear? And when others wreak harm on us or our communities\, can we respond in ways that summon their humanity while protecting our own? \nThe book addresses many important questions\, such as: \n\nHow do we sustain ourselves in the enduring struggle for justice\, without losing our souls and our minds?\nHow do we stand against hate without hating the haters?\nHow do we handle personal and public betrayals?\nHow do we respond to people we’ve been taught to fear or hate?\n\nRSVP for the book launch today!
