Black Faces, Black Interests: The Representation of African Americans in Congress had this reception in the world (1993, 1995, 2006). Gay’s work should have acknowledged and engaged the work. “Winner of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation Award from the American Political Science Association; the D.B. Hardeman Prize for the best scholarly work on Congress from the Lyndon Baines Johnson Foundation; and co-winner of the V.O. Key Award from the Southern Political Science Association; Selected by Library Choice Journal as one of seven "Outstanding Academic Books of 1994"
Through analysis of both black and white members of Congress, Black Faces, Black Interests challenges the proposition that only African Americans can represent black interests effectively and argues for black and white representatives to form coalitions to better serve their constituents. Since its publication in 1993, this book has been cited three times by the U.S. Supreme Court and has spawned numerous studies of minority representation. This enlarged edition features a new chapter entitled "Black Congressional Representation since 1992."

I can’t help thinking that these are ill-gotten gains that illustrate a failure of the U.S. Civil Court system.

Greetings 👋
As Christians, it’s wise to regularly examine our hearts. Are we craving the world’s approval a little too much?
Jesus didn’t sugarcoat what following Him would cost:
“If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you.
Do you remember what I told you? ‘A slave is not greater than the master.’ Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you. They will do all this to you because of me, for they have rejected the one who sent me.
They would not be guilty if I had not come and spoken to them. But now they have no excuse for their sin.
Anyone who hates me also hates my Father. If I hadn’t done such miraculous signs among them that no one else could do, they would not be guilty. But as it is, they have seen everything I did, yet they still ...
Today we learned that Senator Lindsey Graham has passed away after a sudden illness. He was 71.
It’s a sobering reminder that none of us is promised tomorrow. Our times are in His hands.
“My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me.” — Psalm 31:15
What kind of legacy do we want to leave?
Graham and Mitch McConnell were once two of the most powerful figures in American politics—men who helped shape foreign policy, the courts, and the direction of their party for decades. Now both are no longer positioned to influence world events.
Life moves quickly. Power fades. Influence passes. God is in control!
Let’s pray that God raises up a new generation of men and women leaders after His own heart—leaders marked by wisdom, courage, integrity, and a genuine fear of the Lord.
May the Lord comfort Senator Graham’s family, his staff, and all who mourn him today.
May Senator Graham rest in peace.
