White segregationists often argued that racial separation was “God’s will.” They pointed to selected passages of scripture to claim that different races were meant to live apart, framing segregation as moral, natural, and even divinely ordered. But religion wasn’t the only thing being quoted. During the Civil Rights Movement, Black churches and ministers used the same Bible to argue the opposite that segregation violated the fundamental Christian principles of justice, equality, and human dignity. Two completely different messages.Drawn from the same book. The film captures an uncomfortable truth about history: religion has often been used both to challenge injustice and to defend it. In the Jim Crow South, scripture became one of the tools used to give racism a moral shield. Understanding that history matters because when prejudice is framed as righteousness, it becomes much harder to confront. #fyp #BlackHistory #AjustHistory #black #history | Street Hymns
