“Turning our hearts toward the poor, then, can't just mean dealing with pecuniary poverty. It can't just mean a monthly donation. It has to mean diving in, walking alongside, breaking down the hegemony, and fighting the ethos of the Other, wherever we find it. It must mean taking a serious look at our own role in perpetuating the structural inequities Dr. Farmer describes.”
