A historic Black church in Washington, D.C., whose Black Lives Matter sign was vandalized by members of the Proud Boys, plans to launch a project Monday to further support its social justice work and those of national groups.
“It will be a place for people to think about what we do next, how we move forward,” William Lamar, pastor of the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church told USA TODAY in an exclusive interview. “We will be considering questions like what do we all do next? How do we go forward and how can we be victorious in the space in which we find ourselves, politically and spiritually and emotionally?’’
The project, which will be posted on the church website, will provide a space for discussions about social justice concerns and ways to address them, Lamar said.
