The Black prophetic tradition claims that the life of a precious baby in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Haiti, Gaza, Tel Aviv, Lagos, Bototá, or anywhere else has the same value as a precious baby in the USA. The Black prophetic tradition accents the fightback of poor and working people... In short, the Black prophetic tradition is local in content and international in character. The deep hope shot through this dialogue is that Black prophetic fire never dies, that the Black prophetic tradition forever flourishes, and that the new wave of young brothers and sisters of all colors see and feel that is a beautiful thing to be on fire for justice and that there is no greater joy than inspiring and empowering others--especially the least of these, the precious and priceless wretched of the earth!
