Eight were arrested at Moral Monday, an effort to stop a bill they say will slash vital healthcare for lower income people
A police officer’s sense of timing seemed to illuminate the Rev William Barber’s moral mission with startling clarity.
During a prayer vigil on Monday in the Capitol rotunda, close to the very heart of US democracy, Barber was lamenting that Congress starts each day with its own prayers to the almighty even while preying on the poor. Capitol police captain, John Hersch, serendipitously choose that very moment to intervene.
