Black Theology and Black Power

Black Theology is a religious perspective that interprets Christian teachings through the experience of Black communities, emphasizing liberation from racial injustice and affirming Black dignity. Black Power refers to a movement in the 1960s advocating for racial pride, self-determination, and social equality for African Americans. Together, these ideas challenge systemic oppression, emphasizing spiritual and political empowerment, and asserting that Black identity and humanity deserve respect and liberation. They encourage resilience and activism rooted in faith and cultural pride to achieve justice.
