From Assassination to Resurrection

Following a transformative convening with Dr. Molefi K. Asante at the MKA Institute in Philadelphia, the EFM Executive Action Committee is calling leaders, clergy, scholars, and people of faith to Memphis for a national conversation and sacred time of reflection.​ This gathering will explore the Black presence in the biblical text, the historic journey of African American Christians, and the actions that have brought Black people in America to our present moment. Together, we will engage in serious, disciplined conversation about how a knowledge-based understanding of Blacks in the Bible and beyond can help free our people from the assimilationist mind trap and lead us toward spiritual, intellectual, and communal liberation. ​

​

Using the history of the Civil Rights Movement as our guide, we will ask:

 

• What does the Promised Land look like for Black people in the 21st century?

• How do we continue moving toward resurrection after the trauma, sacrifice, and unfinished work of the movement?

• What faithful steps must we take now to secure land and create a sacred, empowering space for the next phase of the Black experience?​
