Faithful listeners of this podcast will recognize the voice of Rev. Jose Humphreys. He is a faith organizer, pastor of Metro Hope Covenant Church in East Harlem and an early contributor to and architect of the Prophetic Resistance Project. We talked with him about his new book “Seeing Jesus in East Harlem” and the role people of faith need to play the upcoming midterm elections. This episode includes a remix of our original conversation with Pastor Jose. Released in 2016 as a two-part series during the beta launch of this podcast, this rich, energizing and still timely exchange varied - from defining whiteness and Afro-Latinidad to engaging in resistance and the role of the Evangelical church in the movement for justice.
