Is this not the hope of every Black Christian, that God might hear and save? That he might look upon those who deny us loans for houses or charge exorbitant interest rates in order to cordon us off into little pockets of poverty and say to them your oppression has been met with the advent of God? This is Mary’s claim, that God reveals himself in glory by turning his attention towards those that the world deems unworthy and lifting them up to a place of honor.
