Black + Evangelical Launch Panel with Sho Baraka, Vincent Bacote, Jessica Janvier, Ed Gilbreath, Daniel Long

Vincent Bacote, Jessica Janvier
What is evangelicalism? Was “evangelical” used by Black people pre 1900s and did they consider themselves evangelical? Why did you make a documentary about Black evangelicals? Who is the documentary for? Why are these stories in history important for us to know today? Why do you call yourself evangelical especially in 2025? Are there any books you would recommend? (26:20)

In what ways did making this film impact you? What did you learn about yourself? As an academic and professor, what theory did you approach the project with? How did that theory change and evolve over time? What kind of reshaping did you experience? Was there something that you learned that shocked you?

Q&A (54:50). What might the first Black evangelicals have to say about Black evangelicalism today? What advice might they have for us? Roman Catholicism aside, what is the distinction between evangelical Christians and non-evangelical Christians? Could you describe the current state of Black evangelicals and Black evangelicalism? In the time we live given the wide support of Donald Trump among many evangelicals, to what extent does the political difference get in the way of fellowship amongst those people who fall on the different paradigms of this social political space that evangelicalism is created? What is the difference between the Black evangelical political and theological posture in the past and present? Has there been a shift and if so what?
