Charlie Kirk’s message transcended ethnic and political boundaries

His core values promoted human flourishing

Charlie Kirk was assassinated while doing what he spent his entire brief life doing: warning his generation not to follow current corrupting societal norms and encouraging them to form lasting marriages, have children only within a marriage, and re-embrace their Christian faith.

In the 1970s, when two-parent families began to disintegrate rapidly in black culture, there was no significant Charlie Kirk-like figure advocating those virtues in the black community. Instead, many of the most prominent black leaders betrayed the people that trusted them by tacitly accepting the new, damaging norms. In the process they betrayed the entire country and God Himself. And for what? Personal wealth, power, and status.

This has to change. Charlie Kirk may have been white but his message is universal, applying to people of all races. It is a message that my organization, TakeCharge, endorses. For the past five years, we have been promoting a return to Faith, Family and Education to restore the black community to its historical roots.
