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. . 410 0$aBlack Religion/Womanist Thought/Social Justice,$x2945-6983 606 $aLiberation theology 606 $aBlack theology 606 $aTheology 606 $aLiberation Theology 606 $aBlack Theology 606 $aChristian Theology 615 0$aLiberation theology. 615 0$aBlack theology. 615 0$aTheology. 615 14$aLiberation Theology. 615 24$aBlack Theology. 615 24$aChristian Theology. 676 $a200 702 $aClark$b Jawanza Eric$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255356403321 996 $aAlbert Cleage Jr. and the Black Madonna and Child$92519216 997 $aUNINA
