This sermon was preached in 2020.

For years, Devon Jerome Crawford has been engaged in the fight for human and civil rights as an organizer, activist, and Christian minister. Devon’s activism is rooted in his own lived experience as a child of “Dynamite Hill” in Birmingham, Alabama. While matriculating at Morehouse College, Devon was elected to serve as president of the Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel Assistants Program and named the 2015 Martin Luther King Jr Scholar.

Following the killing of Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old in Ferguson, Missouri, Devon, along with members of Black Lives Matter at Morehouse and Spelman College, organized over 500 students to protest, march, and testify before former Attorney General Eric Holder and US Department of Justice officials advocating for bolstered community policing and the abolition of a militarized police force. The Movement for Black Lives inspired Devon to merge the academic training he was receiving at Morehouse, and later at the University of Chicago Divinity School, with a calling and passion to do justice. Humanity in Action came in the perfect time in Devon’s life to help him connect the dots between the freedom struggles of the United States to the struggles happening around our world.
