The Religious Force
Describe the role of religion in the African American community
Historically, Black leaders have emerged from the pulpits to seek out rights on behalf of all Blacks
The Africans who were brought involuntarily to the Western Hemisphere were non-Christian
Despite being imposed in the past by Whites, the Christian faiths are embraced by most African Americans today
Black churches continue to be socially involved in their communities, but, like White Americans, more African Americans are becoming unaffiliated with a specific faith
