Overview

How do we sustain resistance to oppression and the work of liberation in a world marked by longstanding anti-Blackness and unrelenting injustice? Writing from the lens of a Black woman and drawing on decades of teaching and scholarship in peace studies, theology, and ethics, Regina Shands Stoltzfus reflects on what it means to remain engaged for the long haul. Attentive to history, trauma, and the sustaining power of community, she names both the weariness and the hope that shape justice work. This book invites readers to consider how resilience, care, and collective vision can make transformation possible.

""Told to 'tell the story, ' Shands Stoltzfus does just that-inviting us into powerful reflections on justice, resistance, resilience, and radical love. Through personal and public narratives, each story is a launching point for a deeper conversation and justice-centered thinking."" -Jill Hurst-Wahl, Widerstand Consulting, Professor Emerita, Syracuse University ""Shands Stoltzfus powerfully captures the soul of the Black spirit-past and present. It is a call and a command, summoning Black people to remember, to rise, and continue the journey, while compelling 'the other' to listen deeply and wrestle with what justice requires."" -Pastor Cyneatha Millsaps, Executive Director, Mennonite Women USA
