The History of the Black Church In America

I was impressed by Reverend Wright's speech to the National Press Club about the history and significance of the black church in America he gave in April. I got into a conversation with a friend about the black church's role in starting university's in the past and how it continues to offer services to the communities they are in, largely a result of the lack of services offered by institutions in the community.

In any case, the transcript and video is here. The video is also on youtube in separate segments. If you want to be entertained and educated about Jeremiah Wright, please watch part of the Q&A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SM6-K1MicZU it's incredibly insightful and it is also hilarious.
