Join a panel of local faith leaders as they confront their role in social justice movements.
Register to join a panel of local faith leaders as they confront their role in movements for social justice.
In February 2021, local PBS affiliate, WNIT, aired the two-part documentary series, “The Black Church,” from noted historian Henry Louis Gates, Jr. The documentary “traces the 400-year-old story of the Black church in America, all the way down to its bedrock role as the site of African American survival and grace, organizing and resilience, thriving and testifying, autonomy and freedom, solidarity and speaking truth to power.”
The IU South Bend Civil Rights Heritage Center seeks to add to this by convening local leaders including the Black churches in a discussion entitled, “Faith, Black Churches, and Social Justice.” The panel features representatives from various local faith communities, and focuses on the historic, current and possible future roles of these groups working for equity and justice.
Civil Rights Heritage Center Director Dr. Darryl Heller will lead the panel in a lively and informative discussion. Guests are encouraged to view live on Zoom or Facebook Live.
