Episode 52 features a conversation with clergy from the East Ohio and West Ohio Conferences of The United Methodist Church discussing the importance of learning from our history while creating a legacy for future generations.
“There is a biblical narrative as well as a social narrative that is in the Black experience that is important for all churches to see and to uplift and to spotlight not just in Black History Month but throughout the calendar year,” said Rev. Gerald Cameron, of Celebration UMC in Euclid.
“Black history to me is not just a month, it’s my existence. It goes from January 1 to December 31,” said Rev. Leo Cunningham, of St. Paul UMC in Toledo. “It’s an opportunity to look at where we have been to understand where we’re going but in the climate we are living in right now we are making Black history, we’re in Black history. One hundred years from now they’re going to ask, ‘what were Black people doing during this time in American history?’”
