Summary: | Critics of Black liberation theology often argue it never left the halls of the academy; the case of Milton Galamison proves such assertions to be false. This article, drawing from archival resources that include Galamison's unpublished autobiography and sermons spanning decades, teases out the sources and norms of his theology, the myriad responses from congregants, and details his involvement with the struggle to integrate the largest school district in the United States. The article, therefore, highlights a praxiological framework for Black liberation theology from one of its under appreciated and acknowledged practitioners. It is hoped that this work will expand the parameters of Black liberation theology and highlight that its impact has extended beyond the halls of the academy. |
