Black Humanism and What It Offers During These Troubled Times
Over the past several decades, there has been increased attention to disbelief within African American communities. The growth in the percentage of the African American population labeled "nones" made this attention unavoidable. However, while statistical information has made it easier to identify African American disbelief in general and African American humanism in particular, what is captured by the label African American humanism—or more popularly Black humanism—has received less attention. Is it a political movement? A social movement? Drawing on his new book—The Black Practice of Disbelief—Anthony Pinn explores what we should know about Black Humanism and how it might help us maintain our humanity during these uncertain and traumatic times.
Feel free to bring adult beverages and/or a snack to share.
