We will continue discussing The Sandbox Revolution: Raising Kids for a Just World.

The Divided Mind of the Black Church
We will watch a lecture by Rev. Dr. Raphael Warnock, senior pastor of the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, which was the spiritual home of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In the video, Rev. Dr. Warnock discusses the history and development of the Black church in the U.S., and how it differentiated itself from the white Christian church. He makes references to Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Rev. Howard Thurman, and Rev. Dr. King.
