I keep urging lefties to watch Prof. Gates' "The Black Church" 2-part special on PBS. It's transformative. The Black Church was and is a liberation base. Only place Black people could learn to READ during slavery. It's not a passive, wimpy place. Oh, some, mostly POWERFUL! Led EVERY social movement.
