- Religion as we know it infiltrated the black community during slavery. While the objective leaned on pacifying slaves, black people rose against the negative narrative and invested in a community that would be known as the black church.
Records indicate that as early as 1794, Richard Allen, a formerly enslaved black man, founded his own denomination and church. Reverend Allen, a man who purchased his own freedom, sought to abolish slavery and help other people escape, as well. As the nation continued to work through the Civil War, Jim Crow, racism, and economic disparity, the black church and its leaders mobilized its followers to speak out and stand up for injustices.
In this series of Black History in Two Minutes or So hosted by Henry Louis Gates Jr., with additional commentary from Brittney Cooper of Rutgers University and Peniel Joseph of the University of Texas, we look at a fundamentally important piece of American history that has been a haven for blacks who have often times been isolated by the nation and the rules of the land.

Yes! The Black Church is a huge part of African American culture, producing everything from great leaders to great music.
Unfortunately it’s not helping with the issues the plaque the B.C but hey if it makes you a better person I’m all for it
And false doctrines
That ain't good we fucked up from that
Why? @@mlepopout1661
It is time to reevaluate and reflect on the Black church in modern culture ❤
I was saved and baptized in a church of the black community in 96. I still hold a devout love of the music, worship, and fear of God that I started in.
Praise Christ Jesus for the black church
And there is the problem. We ( the people) think the church is only needed for spiritual rejuvenation.
We still need the church to push policies that will help the people and swing the pendulum of justice to make laws fair, while giving economic freedoms to build wealth and legacy.
What is the current role of the Black church? What is the current influence? How should the modern situation regarding the black church be interpreted in social and historical context?
Christianity was in Ethiopian and Eritrea centuries before Europe.
Thanks for publishing - very interesting!
I walked into a black pentecostal in the late 60s early 70s and they all shouted allelluia the service stopped and that was it the preacher said thank the lord. yes I am a white man and was young when i went their they invited me back and thanked me. I didnt stay long but hey remember we were seperated
And with that being said yes am glad to be apart of this great background see I was born into it out expression are wild and mysterious because we have such an open view of why we praise God the way we do and so many tries to keep up and do our styles but we are always in high spirits and on one accord the experience is real
How does the church pay the pastor and other church employees?
Thanks for the video!
My home church is PITTS
When The Antichrist is revealed THEN the NAME and NUMBER of his name is revealed.
Revelation 13:16-18
Thank you
Last blacks ONLY CHURCH LEFT

Does a religion have a “Color”?
No, but that's not what "the black church" means.
No. But it is celebrated differently and sometimes separately every Sunday.
Ask white folks! 🤣
Since white folks didn't want us worshipping with them because we were black. and they were the ones to separate us into our own church, then I think we should definitely ask them! 🤣
Faith doesn't have a color. God's Church, the Bride of Christ, doesn't have a color. Man in his sin has often misused and taken the Bible out of context to suit his own purposes; black, brown, white, and yellow.
Amen
Something don't add up ! Third grade Math ? Let me take my shoes off !
I wonder if non-black people are also welcome to listen for a ceremon in a black church community
anyone is allowed in, a church isnt for race, the church is for the sick
Ⓜ™® i freed all slaves.
There is no such thing as "Black church" ...Christ church is established for every human - not for nations and tribes ... leave that primitive and vulgar tribal mentality ....in Christ's eyes all people are God's children .
There's an entire definition for it and doesn't mean what you think it does.
who cares about definition when such church is false brother Bee...and please , don't turn in to a hornet :D
This is about the history of African Americans and how Christianity was transformed for them in America during that time. This is not about defining Christianity and changing what Jesus has came here for. The "Black Church" may be confusing to you because your POV is different but it is describing what happened when African Americans created spaces for themselves that the typical White Christian would use to punish or control them.
@@amandraa leave it to a white person to completely miss the point
@@amandraa Sister, I really understand the anthropological basis of this communion but this is not a church this is a blasphemy. Church is not here to represent historical agony of black people - to serve or exist as a reminder of their misfortune. Church celebrates Christ - a living God....A God who came to save a human (white , black , purple ..even democrats) there's no difference.. please do not participate in the "life" of such "church" this is just one of 1000 protestant sects. You've mentioned "white Christians" - these are not Christians , Christians do not slaughter people nor henge
Islam is the only one true pure monotheistic religion which will be accepted by God almighty
@Casa Grande Christ came with the truth but sadly most Christians of today follow pauls doctrine over Jesus peace be upon him
Islam is a violent terroristic religion
@@draco_1876 people are terrorists not the religion. The religion is perfected show me where Islam teaches terrorism then you may have a point but you won’t as it teaches the total opposite of terrorism
Isn't Judaism also?
@@bartoszpiacko9319 NO the jews did not accept Jesus peace be upon him. The Jews were disobedient to God
