This engaging documentary is less about religion and doctrine, than it is about a cultural throughline of the African American community from enslavement to our current Racist crisis in the United States. Hosted by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., the series details how Black Americans adopted and adapted Christianity to create a liberating faith and the church became a central institution for survival, community, and the fight for freedom.
