About this Event

"

Our speaker will be Joseph L. Tucker Edmonds, PhD., Associate Professor of Africana Studies and Religious Studies at Indiana University's School of Liberal Arts (IUPUI)and the Associate Director of the Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture (CSRAAC).

“Race and Religion in the Heartland” will explore the role Black religious institutions, particularly the Black church, played in disrupting the idea of Indiana as solely a frontier for whiteness and racial exclusion. Rather, the Black church and other Black religious institutions imagined and created new frontiers for Black belonging, resistance, and agency. This talk will explore the founding moments of critical Black religious institutions in the 19th century and their methods of challenging white supremacy and engaging Black communities on and in-between Sundays throughout the twentieth century.
