Episode 226: Reggie Smith & Michelle Loyd-Paige – “Why We Are Still Christians.”

This week Reggie and Michelle talk about why they both have stayed Christians as African American people.  Christianity was used to justify slavery and white Christians have contributed to the oppression of African Americans up until the present day.  However, the Black Church has been a place of sanctuary, strength and strategizing for the Black community through its entire existence.  Reggie and Michelle talk about this provocative topic through stories of their lives in today’s episode.
