The theme for the 2024 Caribbean-American Interfaith Worship Service was Pillars of Peace. Held at People's Congregational United Church of Christ on Sunday, June 30, 2024, the service was a resounding celebration of unity, heritage, and faith, highlighted by the powerful keynote address from Ambassador Shabazz, eldest daughter of Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz.
Ambassador Shabazz captivated the congregation with her reflections on peace, resilience, and the importance of heritage. She began by emphasizing the significance of inner peace. "People think peace is weakness. It really is about strength," she said.
Her words resonated deeply, as she spoke about the enduring legacy of her father, Malcolm X, and the influence of her Caribbean heritage. "We are responsible for authoring our stories. It is up to us, and we get to correct it. We get to define it, we get to narrate it," she declared, urging the congregation to embrace and preserve their rich cultural narratives.
