2016 Rna Annual Conference

We hear from experts about how the #BlackLivesMatter movement has and will shape American discourse and policy, including after the first African-American president leaves office. How has it compared to the influence of the civil rights movement, which was deeply connected to black churches? If it is happening mostly outside the walls of the church, is the church catching up to it or has it been left behind? Moderator: Adelle Banks, Production Editor/National Reporter, Religion News Service. Speakers: Kip Banks, Pastor, East Washington Heights Baptist Church; Kelly Brown Douglas, Susan D. Morgan Professor of Religion, Goucher College; Ryan Herring, Editor-in-chief, TheGhettoMonk.com
