Black theology

Black Theology is a theological framework that emerged in the 1960s, primarily within the African American community. It emphasizes the liberation and empowerment of Black people, interpreting Christian teachings as a tool for social justice and resistance against oppression. Influenced by the Civil Rights Movement, it asserts that God is particularly present with the marginalized and oppressed. Key figures, such as theologian James Cone, argue that faith should inspire action against racism and systemic injustice, highlighting the intersection of faith, culture, and politics to promote racial equality and human dignity.
