TOMORROW!!
RSVP: bit.ly/BLACKHARBOR

What: Black August in the Hush Harbor: a conversation on underground organization, prophetic spiritual formation, and Black liberation

When: Thursday, August 18, 6pm ET

Where: Zoom w/ registration at this link - bit.ly/BLACKHARBOR

Who: Liberating Church in partnership with Southern Vision Alliance, North Carolina Black Alliance, and Transform Network

Description: Black August is a time to renew commitment to the liberation of all Black people through intensive personal and collective disciplines. Hush harbors were one of the covert organizations of enslaved Africans to practice a blend of African religions with Christianity and to plot for the abolition of chattel slavery.

Come hear and participate in a conversation connecting these two traditions. Conversation partners include Sendolo Diaminah (she/he) - former training director at Black Organizing for Leadership & Dignity and currently the co-director and founder of the Carolina Federation - and several of the authors of Liberating Church, a manifesto on what the hush harbors can teach modern faith communities. Attendees can expect a panel style conversation between the speakers followed by a time of audience questions and comments.

We’ll also be giving away free copies of the book that inspires this conversation: Liberating Church: A 21st Century Hush Harbor Manifesto!
