Kristofer and “Called to Teach”

Called to Teach

In today’s SSS video, Kristofer reflects on the life and witness of Anna Julia Haywood Cooper. She was a teacher, writer, and advocate for racial and gender justice. As both an African-American and a woman in the field of education and in the church, she embodied God’s call to liberation in a powerful way. You can read more about her life and ministry here
