A Discussion On The History Of The Black Church

More than just a spiritual place, the Black Church in America is also the source of much of Black culture and the wellspring of political activism. The Church is the energy that fuels Black businesses and gave rise to Black educational institutions. The Church over centuries in America has given Black people a sense of value and belonging. Callie Crossley, host of Under the Radar with Callie Crossley, and Basic Black and GBH commentator, hosts a virtual conversation with Rev. Dr. Theodore Hickman-Maynard, Rev. Dr. Yolanda Pierce, Rev. Dr. Irene Monroe, and Rev. Dr. Emmett G. Price, III on the evolution of the Black church in Boston and the U.S., the role of women in the church over time and the political activism that has always had roots in the church community. This virtual live event expands upon themes presented in a new, upcoming documentary series by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. The Black Church: This Is Our Story, This Is Our Song is a four-hour documentary exploring 400 years of the Black Church in America and its impact as a living institution within American culture.
