On Friday, July 17, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., Epworth United Methodist Church (19285 Holland Glade Road, Rehoboth Beach) will host a screening of the documentary “The Sins of our Fathers: Race, Religion, and the Rise of Trump.” The film follows a white Evangelical whose assumptions are upended by a hard look at the history of Charleston, South Carolina — leading him to examine how partisan strategy has exploited white Christian identity and to reckon with our nation’s history of racial injustice.
What does it take to build a movement from scratch? A recent episode of Blue Coast Talk answers that question by tracing the origin of the Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice, founded in 2015 and now celebrating a decade of work.
