I continue to sit with so many complex feelings around the church. Acknowledging how they’ve existed as a support for many, while also acknowledging that it’s still an institution that has historically caused great harm to marginalized people, particularly young girls, women, and LGBTQIA+ communities. Yet, it’s nearly impossible to ignore how central the Exodus is to Black liberation. That’s why I paired DreamWorks’ The Prince of Egypt with Zora Neale Hurston’s brilliant novel, Moses, Man of the Mountain.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach bundle is curated to deliver a complete movie \u0026amp; reading experience:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003ehe Novel:\u003c\/b\u003e A paperback edition of Hurston's, \u003cem\u003eMoses, Man of the Mountain\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Film:\u003c\/b\u003e Prince of Egypt (1998) on DVD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Lil Movie Snack:\u003c\/b\u003e Artisan movie night popcorn from a Black-owned, family-founded brand honoring Gullah Geechee culinary heritage (with a portion of sales donated to Gullah cultural preservation).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo Reflect \u0026amp; Ponder: \u003c\/strong\u003eA mini African-print pocket notebook, and a library-themed mini notebook for your personal reflections. A vintage-inspired library checkout card, a greeting card, a book-review bookmark, a pen, and vinyl stickers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA Letter From Me:\u003c\/strong\u003e Historically, I've always been someone who talks during movies.
