Love Your Neighbor
“Nobody chooses their skin color, so why would I ever hate you for yours? And why would you ever hate me for mine?”

— Chris Singleton

Former Chicago Cub-turned activist, Chris Singleton lost his mother in the mass shooting at the historic Emmanuel AME Church, a prominent Black church in Charleston, South Carolina, renowned for its activism during the civil rights movement. Chris will share his message of resilience, forgiveness, and unity.
