We trace Black history as living resistance, linking Reconstruction to today’s bans and misinformation while centering Henry McNeal Turner’s radical theology and the Colored Conventions as blueprints for action. Faith, rhetoric, and archives become tools to confront white Christian nationalism and build abolitionist sanctuaries.

• significance of Black History Month amid erasure
• Reconstruction as a mirror for current politics
• rhetorical strategies for truth in a noisy age
• Africa as origin and identity anchor
• Henry McNeal Turner’s evolution and legacy
• women’s influence in AME leadership and ministry
• “God is a Negro” as liberating claim today
• abolition as faith practice and community design
• the 19th‑century Colored Conventions movement
• current books, research, and ways to support
