13:39Now PlayingBlack Pastors: We Survived Jim Crow By Fighting. Not Begging White Folk.
The Black church helped dismantle Jim Crow through organized resistance, daily fight, and economic strategy. The question raised in this address: have pastors traded fight for meetings and mobilization for comfort?
In this church panel discussion, speakers confront what they describe as a leadership and mobilization crisis inside the Black church. They reject “plantation theology,” criticize meeting culture without execution, and argue that reducing fight to voting has weakened Black institutional power. Drawing from the Jim Crow era, they emphasize boycott strategy, organized resistance, and daily engagement as the model for rebuilding power today.
