For our Racial Justice program Pam Zwickey invited three people to share with us, each from their perspective and experience. (recording by VelvetLee Elder)
• Reverend Dr. Chad Johnson, pastor at Amarillo United Methodist Church shares from an indigenous perspective.
• America Adame, director of Amarillo Wesley Community Center, informs us about her work in the barrio community where AWCC is located.
