"There aren't many theological absolutes, but this much I know: God did not call Trayvon Martin home. God did not call Sandra Bland home. God did not call Matthew Shepard home." @FaithfullyBP
"God was with Trayvon in the moment of his crucifixion...to know the extent of God's love, one must recognize Jesus in the face of Trayvon."
"Let's pray together...White people like myself have benefited from the system of white supremacy...our failure to pass sane gun reform has taken the lives that are still being counted in Milwaukee." Rev. Amanda Hambrick Ashcraft
Rev. Perry: "We've walk through the valley of the shadow of death."

Congregation: "Dead immigrants, dead black folks, dying oceans and rivers and species."

@RevJacquiLewis: "Dead hopes and dreams. How will we live? Can these dead bones live?"
And now, the invitation to communion. Skittles were in addition to regular bread + cup

"Eat, be fed, + remember the one who came that we might have abundant life."

"Tonight we especially remember Trayvon's last meal...there's a spoon and there are cups."

Often it's the little details that make these clips. The pitter-patter of falling Skittles at 0:51 here, for instance...
Closing hymn: Mavis Staples, "Turn Me Around"

"We're not gonna let anyone turn us around because we know where we are headed. We're going towards a world where a black teenager buying snacks at a convenience store is not viewed as any more dangerous in a hood than I am."

Bonus clip: Eschatology!

"I know that in the promised land we're walking toward, no one dies at white supremacy's bloodied hands. And no one dies from poverty, and no one dies from homophobia...no seat is left empty because the person who used to sit in it was uninsured."
