RECORDING OF DANIEL HILL'S PRESENTATION

Pastor Daniel Hill is the founding and senior pastor of River City Community Church located in the West Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago. The vision of River City is centered on the core values of worship, reconciliation and neighborhood development. Formed in 2003, River City longs to see increased spiritual renewal, as well as social and economic justice by demonstrating compassion and alleviating poverty as tangible expressions of the Kingdom of God.

Prior to founding River City, Hill was part of a series of dot.com startups in the 90s before serving for five years on the staff of Willow Creek Community Church in the suburbs of Chicago. Daniel earned his bachelor's degree in business from Purdue University and his master's in theology from Moody Bible Institute. He also holds a certificate in church-based community and economic development from Harvard Divinity School and is a Doctor of Ministry from Northern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Understanding the history and consistent, pervasive myth and lie of white supremacy allows us to confront it, dismantle it and work to create an anti-racist society.
