Show Notes
One of the earliest safe spaces for Black folks was the church. Birthed from segregation gone spiritual, the Black church gave us a place to fellowship “freely.” We used the church to educate, organize, and mobilize. It was a storehouse for the needy and a house call for the shut-in. Over time we saw the rise of celebrity pastors and mega churches. With the rise of both, we’ve seen the community fall by the wayside. While we know that all churches haven’t left the Black community, the culture of the Black church has certainly shifted. The question now is: Has the Black church still of service to Black people. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
