Why Christians Need to Celebrate Black History Month

At the start of Black History Month, this video from Pastor Matt Chandler echoes timely words of encouragement for believers, especially in light of the racial reconciliation efforts that have happened over the last year.

“Let’s grow together as a family,” he proclaims. And that family, he clarifies, has roots in faith communities not typically found in the history books. It’s time to set the record straight, Chandler believes. “So our roots as Christians and our roots as America and the things that we would celebrate, a lot of this has been built by those who are African American or African descent.”
