AAHIAH SPECIAL: "The Abyssinian Baptist Church" [One of the oldest Congregations in America]

Описание: In this special edition of African American History Is AMERICAN History (AAHIAH), we dive into the rich legacy of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, a cornerstone of African American history and culture. Founded in 1808, the Abyssinian Baptist Church is one of the oldest African American congregations in the United States, playing a pivotal role in both religious and social movements.

In this video, we explore its history, from its founding to its vital influence in the Harlem community, and its iconic broadcast of New World A-Coming on April 30, 1944, which featured the episode "The History of the Negro Church in New York." This video is perfect for students, educators, and anyone interested in African American history, U.S. history, religion in America, and Black culture. Learn about the deep connections between African American religion, social justice, and the fight for equality.
