The Royal Wedding of Harry and Meghan The thoughtful and deliberate embrace of Black American culture, spirituality, and philosophy, in the Royal setting of Windsor, made a stirring impression. It is moments like this, comparable with Obama winning the American presidency (twice), that mark great steps forward on the road to an integrated, equal society, and the healing of centuries of division and injustice. See the short video for highlights of the Kingdom choir singing Stand by Me, the Sheku Kanneh-Mason performing on the cello, and Bishop Michael Curry delivering the sermon. May love indeed be the redemptive power spoken of!
