Black Power and #BlackLivesMatter

The Religious Force

Describe the role of religion in the African American community

Historically, Black leaders have emerged from the pulpits to seek out rights on behalf of all Blacks

The Africans who were brought involuntarily to the Western Hemisphere were non-Christian

Despite being imposed in the past by Whites, the Christian faiths are embraced by most African Americans today

Black churches continue to be socially involved in their communities, but, like White Americans, more African Americans are becoming unaffiliated with a specific faith

The New Immigration

Examine how recent immigration is adding to the Black community

Substantial flow of immigrants has come from Africa and the Caribbean

These new additions to the African American community are a diverse group, including newcomers who first came to study, others who came to join relatives, and some who came as refugees

These new immigrants experience all the problems of transitioning into a new society experienced by other immigrants
