The Struggles of African Americans and the ‘Inspiration View’ and ‘Opium View’ of the Black Faith

Abstract

This article will examine how the Black Church and Black Faith influence the political and social activism of African-Americans, how important their influence and role is in promoting and spreading, and how the “Opium View” and the “Inspiration View”, which are contradictory, influence the argument and activism movement, and will analyze its foundations and effects.
