On this episode, we continue our conversation with by Dr. Malcolm Foley, whose doctoral research focused on the various ways African Americans in the 19th to 20th century were forced to respond to the multiple forms racism took in American society.

In our conversation, we ask: How can the response of African American Protestants in the past help us understand the American Church today? Can there be a balance between the harsh realities of the past and the idealization of history? How can we avoid despair in our pursuit of justice? How can today’s church leaders carry on the work that started before them? All that and more on this edition of the podcast.
