Novelist Zora Neale Hurston once wrote, There are years that ask questions and years that answer. In a volatile era rocked by Trumpism and Black Lives Matter, Henry Louis Gates Jr. helps provides some answers to the weary in his new book The Black Church: This Is Our Story, This Is Our Song. Gates enlightens us by revealing the relevance and resonance of Black church traditions in a country still falling short of its initial promise that all people are created equal.
