Our group seeks to respond as a faith community to racial injustice in our American culture. Both resident and student parishioners have asked “What can I do?” or “How can I help?” This group is exploring ways to help through the use of self-awareness and educational resources, discussion, and action. We hope that you might find personal value with involvement and that our collective efforts offer healing and change for those experiencing racial injustice in their lives.
This St. Tom’s ministry is being led by parishioners Zelda Flye & Lou Kendall.

About the Video: “Understanding Racial Inequality in America,” was presented by former St. Tom’s parishioner Marc Scarcelli, associate professor of political science at California Polytechnic University, Pomona at St. Tom’s Racial Equality & Justice group meeting on December 15, 2020. His presentation provides a high-level recount of the events in United States history that have led to racial inequality and injustice in our country.
