From Griots to Black Preachers: The Revolutionary Connection Between West African Religion and Black Identity
This video will explore the history and influence of West African religions on Black culture and religion and the ways in which African diaspora religions continue to shape religious culture in the United States and beyond. By examining the perspectives of scholars and historical figures such as Nat Turner, we can gain a deeper understanding of the significance of the Black faith tradition in shaping Black identity and political resistance.
