Far too often, the Black Christian students’ response to what’s happening in this country and on their campus, have been overlooked. As a staff member on UW-Madison campus with the Impact Movement, a ministry that serves students of African Descent, I have come to realize that many Black Christian students encounter and struggle with this reality differently than students who are not of the Christian faith.
After it was announced that Donald Trump has been elected as the 45th president of the United States of America, I was flooded by messages from my students and peers. A leader in the Impact Movement said, “So I woke up this morning seriously contemplating not leaving my room today then I was reminded of 2 Timothy 1:7 which says, ‘For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity but of power, love and self-discipline.’ There is no need to be afraid. God is still in control and still on His throne. Have a blessed day, loves!”
