“The keeper of the legacy in the past who kept the history alive in a culture of no written word.”
Your assertion — the black church as the keeper of black history — perhaps supplies us with a cogent explanation for the histrionics of pastors such as reverend Wright, namely, to impress this history on their congregations: in the most forceful, powerful, and unforgettable terms.
Very interesting.
Much better than Obama’s ‘it’s a black thing’ ‘you wouldn’t understand’ explaination.
