The Black Church

The Black Church refers to Christian churches historically founded and led by Black communities, especially in the United States. It has served as both a spiritual sanctuary and a vital center for social, political, and cultural activism, particularly during times of oppression and injustice. The Black Church has fostered community bonds, promoted civil rights, and provided leadership, often blending religious worship with the fight for racial equality. Its significance extends beyond faith, embodying resilience, identity, and collective empowerment within Black history and culture.
