“Black Protest” The Pulpit to the Streets with Jennifer Jones Austin
Bill Myers Inspires
Lawyer and social justice advocate Jennifer Jones Austin has re-released her father’s book entitled “God in the Ghetto,” which spells out his calling as a minister requiring the Christian church to observe and follow the biblical example to liberate blacks from oppression in America through peaceful, nonviolent black protest. Originally published in 1979, the ministry and message of the late Rev. Dr. William Augustus Jones, Jr. from the black protests of the 60’s and 70’s continues to resonate and serves as a powerful blueprint for freedom and justice today.
Jennifer Jones Austin is an author, lawyer and social justice advocate for low income individuals and families in New York City. Recently, New York City Mayor DeBlasio appointed Jennifer as the Chair of a commission to eradicate systemic and institutional racism in the city of New York. For over 20 years, Jennifer has served on many non-profit boards, and has held leadership positions in many organizations committed to social justice.
