There is a lot of heartbreak today, in the abolitionist community and beyond, about the news that 5-year-old Shaniya Davis was a victim of child sex trafficking and murder in North Carolina.
I keep coming back to a song I heard and video I saw over the weekend from a nonprofit Christian "musicianary" band called Take No Glory. "Beautiful Slave" is a song that sounds like it could have been played by Evanescence, woven into a simple children's hymn that people who grew up going to Protestant churches will recognize: "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands." The transition happens around the 3:25 mark.
Locked in brothels in Southeast Asia or trafficked by relatives in North Carolina, they are precious in his sight. This little girl is at peace now, and for the rest who are still waiting: we will come for you.
