Presented by Richelle Yousaf.


This presentation explores the origins and evolution of Black Liberation Theology, tracing its roots from slavery-era resistance in hush harbors to its modern expressions alongside radical movements like the Black Panthers. It highlights key figures such as James Cone, Bishop Henry McNeal Turner, and Rev. Albert Cleage, and examines the intersection of faith, freedom, and political power. The presentation also connects Womanist Theology as a vital expansion of the liberation tradition, centering Black women’s voices in the struggle for justice.
