The Virtue Field
Episode 4: Caring for Individual and Community
In episode 4 we learn about what Harriet did once she began the process of liberating herself. We see that she goes beyond her self and her immediate family to attack the system of slavery. This takes a number of shapes through her life. We return to the thought of Howard Thurman as a framework to describe the connection between self-liberation and creating community. We see what ethics in action might look like.
