"Black History: The Continuous Struggle for Liberation, Democracy, & Human Development"

This sermon seeks to assist people of faith in understanding the historical complexity of the "Black experience" which pre-dates the American encounter with enslavement and racism. Wherever and whenever Black people have encountered different cultures, they have likely experienced dehumanization, marginality and "racial-ethnic" bias. Thus, one way to understand Black History is as a spiritual and socio-political struggle to  respond to these encounters both in Africa and in diaspora locations around the world.
