In this collection, black religious scholars and pastors whose
expertise range from theology, ethics, and the psychology of
religion, to preaching, religious aesthetics, and religious
education, discuss the legacy of Albert B. Cleage Jr. and the idea
of the Black Madonna and child. Easter Sunday, 2017 will mark the
fifty year anniversary of Albert B. Cleage Jr.'s unveiling of a
mural of the Black Madonna and child in his church in Detroit,
Michigan. This unveiling symbolized a radical theological departure
and disruption. The mural helped symbolically launch Black
Christian Nationalism and influenced the Black Power movement in
the United States. But fifty years later, what has been the lasting
impact of this act of theological innovation? What is the legacy of
Cleage's emphasis on the literal blackness of Jesus? How has the
idea of a Black Madonna and child informed notions of black
womanhood, motherhood? LGBTQ communities? How has Cleage's theology
influenced Christian education, Africana pastoral theology, and the
Black Arts Movement? The contributors to this work discuss answers
to these and many more questions.
