GRITtv: Rev. James Forbes: The Beloved Community

Sit-ins began 50 years ago today at a lunch counter at a Woolworth's in North Carolina: now that Woolworth's is the International Civil Rights Center and Museum. Rev. James Forbes took part in sit-ins at Woolworth's lunch counters in his youth, and he shares with us a poem he wrote about one of those experiences, as well as his prescription for a way to build progressive communities through spiritual support and understanding one another. He documents all this in his new book, Whose Gospel?: A Concise Guide to Progressive Protestantism.
