Unfinished Business: Picking Up the Mantle

What work has been left unfinished—and who will carry it forward? Scholar, educator, and founder Dr. Anika Prather traces a mantle passed from Elijah to Elisha, from Abraham Lincoln to later generations, and ultimately to us. Drawing on Scripture, history, song, and the Black church tradition, she argues that the work of reconciliation, education, repair, and beloved community remains unfinished.
