The Very Rev. Kelly Brown Douglas, the recipient of the 2023 Grawemeyer Award in Religion, explained to a large crowd gathered in Caldwell Chapel at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary Thursday why hope is so urgently needed today as the United States struggles to escape from what the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called “the quicksands of racial injustice.”

How do we really know God cares when Black people are still getting killed? How long do we have to wait for God’s justice? Hearing her son ask those questions and seeing Black Lives Matter protests erupt nationwide after George Floyd’s death in 2020 led theologian the Very Rev. Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas to write “Resurrection Hope: A Future Where Black Lives Matter.” On Friday she was named winner of the 2023 Grawemeyer Award in Religion for the book’s ideas.
