The role of the black church

What was once called the Negro church in the course of the struggle for equality has emerged as a major force advocating, equality,  democracy and social change.  How did the transition from the Negro church to the black church take place; what were the class and social forces that helped shape it; how did these issues relate to the broader society issues in the U.S. during the 19th and 20th century? The questions and more are addressed by Ed Carson.
