"What we saw in 2020 globally had the power to turn the tide and has been like nothing I've ever seen before. Globally we've seen enlightened soft power stood next to Black renaissance, and our non-Black allies in their millions stood with us and marched. However, no matter how impactful a moment or protest feels, the success of any march or demonstration is defined by the call to action and what comes next."

Cephas Williams
In memory of Steven Rawlins
"The things that we’re seeing around racial discrimination, need to be addressed and I feel that the work that Cephas is doing is really making a difference and I would like to be part of that."

In this letter Cephas Williams lays out his vision for a better reality for the Black community and for humanity. He touches on the global awakening that took place in 2020 from a personal perspective, in form of a letter to his son. Following the birth of his son, Cephas took this letter to leaders within his network as a manifesto for change and as a letter introducing his vision and the need for The Black Network as a custodian of the commitments made and the change we need to see.
