Lecture | Race, Religion and Presidents: What Can Zilpha Elaw’s Memoirs Teach Us About Charlottesville, Trump, and American Evangelicalism?

Thursday, February 15, 2018, 12:30 pm

Free

The perplexing relationship between Trump and the religious right was never more polarizing than after the protests and murder in Virginia in August 2017.

Kimberly Blockett (Associate Professor of English and Division Coordinator of Liberal Arts, Penn State Brandywine) has written on the Black woman evangelist Zilpha Elaw (c. 1793-1873) who preached extensively from Maine to Virginia. Blockett examines the trans-historical intersections of race, religion, and politics, highlighting how Christian revivalism fundamentally changed American culture. At the core of those cultural shifts, the one debate that threatened every sect and denomination was race.
