Black Women Laborers

Nothing seemed more urgent than the collective quest of Black freedom after the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Although Black men and women shared the same mission and skin color, their commitment to the cause manifested in very different ways.
James Cone, a highly regarded professor, preached about Black liberation at the center of the gospel. His elevated teaching not only inspired followers but it also provided an alternate theology that shifted the power of the church. But with that change came a host of women who recognized that his change meant staying the same for them. Womanist Theology served as an equally thought out and informative message for women whose presence, power, and contribution to the Black church weren’t always acknowledged.
In this episode of Black History In Two Minutes or So hosted by Henry Louis Gates Jr. - with additional commentary from Imani Perry of Princeton University, Anthony Pinn of Rice University and Barbara Savage of The University of Pennsylvania, we take a look at how the church’s effort to preach freedom shifted the landscape of religion from the pulpit to the pew.
Black History in Two Minutes (or so) is a 4x Webby Award winning series.
