An offshoot of the Liberation Theology of Latin America the dear Jesuits and Pope Francis adhere to.

It’s a Protestant church - Trinity United Church of Christ.

No. It’s a Protestant church - Trinity United Church of Christ. It’s not an offshoot of anything in South America. Black liberation theology actually has roots in older black movements dating back to Marcus Garvey. It actually predates liberation theology among Jesuits in South America. Even if someone wanted to date black liberation theology only to James Cone’s era that would still be 1969 or so. Boff got his PhD in 1970. Thus, at “best” the two movements are contemporaneous. At “worst” the black movement predates it by several decades.
