The Angela Project Presents 40 Days of Prayer for the Liberation of American Descendants of Slavery Synopsis
Throughout the 400 years since the first "20 and odd Negroes" were brought to the British colonies, American Descendants of Slavery have experienced a Black Holocaust: enslavement, black codes,
sharecropping, Jim Crow, lynching's, convict leasing, redlining, restrictive covenants, police brutality, subprime lending, mass incarceration, all of which have resulted in the ghettoization/impoverishment of black communities across America.
Contained within each daily prayer and reflection page is an excerpt from the documentary, The Underground Rail Road: A Record, by William Still, which details the narrative of slaves who escaped to freedom through the Underground Railroad.
The second reading on the daily prayer and reflection page is a collection of historical facts revealing the ongoing systemic oppression leveled against Blacks who were first enslaved and that continued against their descendants – the American Descendants of Slavery.
The third writing on each daily prayer and reflection page is the "We Are the Voice of One" Prayer Declaration, which is adapted from Isaiah 40. This book contains guiding questions for discussion, reflection, and action after each day’s reading.
