A question-and-answer session and book signing will follow Harvey\u2019s presentation.<\/p>\n<p>The lecture explores how a select group of African-Americans deployed, wrestled with, argued with, and transformed the Christian tradition extending from slaves in the deep South to those highly-educated free blacks and missionaries in the North.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfrican-Americans had a tortured relationship with \u2018the Christian religion&#8217; in the 19th century. It could be both their savior and their tormentor,\u201d Harvey said. \u201cThey appealed to the \u2018true principles&#8217; of Christianity as opposed to the false preaching of pro-slavery advocates. The entire cosmology of nineteenth-century Christianity was racialized, yet at the same time, Christianity provided a venue both necessary and sufficient to critique American slavery, racism and the political structures that lay under each.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harvey researches, writes and teaches in the field of American history from the 16th century to the present. He is the creator of a professional scholarly blog Religion in American History, and is a contributor to the online journal Religion Dispatches.
