America was founded on the concept of the innate and inalienable
rights of humankind. Many Christians see an echo of the imago
Dei--that every human being carries the image of God--within those
ideals. Yet these rights were systemically withheld from the Black
and enslaved residents of this country for centuries. Through it
all, Black people have proclaimed the truth of their dignity and
personhood in powerful and profound ways. Crowned with Glory
collects many of the writings of these men and women, both familiar
and lesser-known, to shine a light on what has always been there:
an enormous movement of Black Americans demanding the liberty they
were promised and deserved. With moving and insightful reflections
on these oft-forgotten or suppressed voices, author Jasmine L.
Holmes offers a hopeful and encouraging testament to the power of
unrelenting cries for justice that will strike a chord with anyone
looking for a robust Christian history of resistance. If you want
to understand how we got here, read this book. If you want to know
where we go from here, read it again.
