faith comes out from knowing we are oppressed in order to believe/teach us to be

God's word better by speaking to those who are persecuted. Solle goes on saying that
we must become ‘black'. Not as a race, per say, but for our experiences with suffering
as a group (not as an individual) (pg 97). A major point was that of the great
humanitarian Martin Luther King Jr.. In one of his speeches he pointed out that America

goes on to say that he was then assassinated. With this she makes a symbolic notion
