Have you ever wondered where the traditional black church came from, how it survived the transatlantic slave trade, slavery, and Jim Crow and its current connection or contribution to the Church and culture? Come hear leading Black and African American practitioners discuss the origin, evolution, contribution, and challenges of the Black Church in North America.
