As we honor Black and African American history, we recognize a lineage of faith, courage, and creativity that has shaped our communities, our culture, and our shared spiritual landscape. These stories testify to the power of endurance and the transformative strength of hope, artistry, and collective memory in the face of oppression. They are living legacies, not relics of the past, calling us to witness, learn, and act with both humility and determination.

We invite you to explore these curated resources as a doorway into the wisdom, insight, and spiritual depth of Black elders, leaders, artists, and storytellers. May their voices guide us toward a fuller understanding of justice, liberation, and the sacred work of community care. Together, let us honor the intersections of sorrow and joy, struggle and triumph, remembrance and renewal, as we walk the cruciform path of Christ... one that embraces both liberation and love.
