Delivering the GOSPEL truth!
As a counselor at one of Louisiana's only remaining abortion clinics, Seratones front-woman AJ Haynes is intimately acquainted with the messy labyrinth of history. On the polymathic Shreveport, Louisiana band's new single"Power" — the title track on their new album, out August 23 — Haynes confronts this labyrinth head-on.
"Sadie Roberts-Joseph understood that in the South, we live with the spirits of our complicated history," says Haynes, continuing:"But the spirits are often muted, silenced, or talked over...as if an impenetrable barrier muffles our understanding. I hope this video offers a way for us to listen to those spirits and honor her power."
"The Confederate monument has always been a chilling reminder of the lengths that people will go in order to control someone else's body. This violent lineage is even more evident in the wake of Sadie Roberts-Joseph's recent murder. She amplified the stories of Black people in Louisiana, carved a sacred space for our living narrative. Although an unknown assailant took her life, they will never be able to take away her voice.

The essay, titled, “I Wanted to Know What White Men Thought About Their Privilege. So I Asked,” digs into how white people understand their own whiteness—do they recognize white privilege? Do they believe, as one white friend told Rankine, that whiteness has them “absorbing the problems of the world”?
