Holy Thursday | The Power of Community
By standing with the marginalized and oppressed, we build an inclusive community that, at its core, respects the humanity of everyone who surrounds us.
Jamal Adams is the principal at La Salle College Preparatory School in Pasadena, California. Prior to joining the Lasallian community, Adams served Loyola High School of Los Angeles as its director of equity and inclusion and director of faculty. As director of equity and inclusion, he instituted programs and projects that centered on deepening a culture of belonging on campus across affinity groups, with parents-guardians and other stakeholders from the community. He is the co-author of an essay “Teaching as a Practice Rooted in Black Brotherhood,” featured in an anthology entitled Teaching Black: The Craft of Teaching on Black Life and Literature (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2020). In addition to his publication, he is the co-host of a podcast, Just Conversations: Race, Faith, and Catholic Education, sponsored by the Ignatian Solidarity Network.
By standing with the marginalized and oppressed, we build an inclusive community that, at its core, respects the humanity of everyone who surrounds us.
It is evident that race is a most central justice challenge of our time. Are we willing to be uncomfortable? Are we willing to change?
