A native of rural North Carolina, evangelical minister Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove tries to live by what he believes to be the Bible’s essential message: Love your neighbors. Take care of the poor. Be with those who are suffering. He has been active in fighting the death penalty, supporting undocumented farmworkers, and advocating for the homeless. In 2013 he joined other local ministers in protesting an ordinance that restricted panhandling in Durham, North Carolina. But Wilson-Hartgrove, who is white, is perhaps best known for his collaboration with Rev. William Barber, president of the North Carolina State Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Along with other clergy and social-justice activists, Wilson-Hartgrove helped Barber organize a series of protests called Moral Mondays in North Carolina’s capital, Raleigh, following the state legislature’s sharp turn to the right in 2012. They also coauthored a book titled The Third Reconstruction: Moral Mondays, Fusion Politics, and the Rise of a New Justice Movement.
