The police killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile re-ignited Black Lives Matter protests across the country. Then, five Dallas police officers were shot to death by a lone gunman. We do some soul-searching with black and white clergy who’ve been thinking deeply about where we go from here.

| The Art and Power of Black Preaching |

When we listen to the call and response of a jazz trio, we are hearing echoes of black preaching. When we tap our feet to a hip-hop song, we are also hearing black preaching. And when we get caught up in the words of a powerful storyteller, that too is black preaching. This week we listen back to some of the most riveting examples of African-American sermons. Our interview first aired in July, 2010.
