The Black Church and the Civil Rights Movement
You're watching session five of the 8-session course of Black Church Studies on Seminary Now. Watch the full course here: seminarynow.com/programs/blac...
What is the Black church? What role has it played in the culture and liberation of Black Americans throughout US history?
Rev. Dr. Marshall Hatch takes viewers on a journey through the history and impact of the Black church in America, from the religion of white slaveholders passed to enslaved peoples to the role of the church today in the era of Black Lives Matter. He teaches on the Civil War, Reconstruction, the development of Black denominations due to segregation, prominent Black church leaders and theologians, the Civil Rights era, and the new time of racial reckoning in America today.
The Black church has guided culture, provided hope in hard times, and been the motivating and organizing force behind pushes for the rights of Black Americans. While church attendance is decreasing, Hatch contends that the Black church still has an important role to play in American life.
