PRAYER REQUEST — 10/30/07

Request for prayer.
I just got a call this morning from my friend Troy Donald. Troy and I were teaching and coaching partners at Memphis Catholic High School. He called to tell me that one of our former students, Darius Truly, had been murdered on Saturday in Los Angeles.
Darius had become an aspiring actor and had received awesome reviews for his performances on stages across the country. As a high school student, he was one of the brightest students I ever taught. He was funny and intelligent beyond his years, popular with students and teachers alike. He challenged me everyday to think outside of my own racial and cultural templates. His violent death is tragic and sad. Please pray for his family and for all who knew him.
Darius Truly and J. Nicole Brooks in Suzan-Lori Parks’ “The America Play.”
