Oh my God, the “Beloved Community”? No one talks about this – certainly not at the level of politics and national or global power. The point I’m struggling to make in this moment is that love – in the deepest possible meaning of the word– is more powerful than growling dogs and firehoses and jailcells. It is more powerful than burning crosses. It is more powerful than 2,000-pound bombs. It is the force that is able to embrace conflict and transcend it – and it should be at the core of how we envision the human future.
