Why Black Lives Matter for Science and Faith

  • Featuring Bishop Claude Alexander, 
  • Deborah Haarsma, 
  • Lynette Strickland 
  • and Harvey Clemons Jr. 
on June 16, 2020
  • Current Events
  • Gracious Dialogue
  • Race

The conversations around science and faith, including at BioLogos, have too often left out the voices and concerns of our Black brothers and sisters. We all have the need to listen and learn, about the history of racism, about the experiences of African Americans, and about the systems that have harmed them while benefiting White people. Sadly, science and medicine have too often been a part of those systems.

This video is a recorded live stream panel discussion from June 16, 2020, led by Bishop Claude Alexander, a BioLogos board member. It features pastor and BioLogos Advisory Council member Harvey Clemons Jr., and biologist Lynette Strickland.
