Timothy Fritz reminding us when we teach about slavery that it’s easy to want to focus on resistance stories since that’s an American trope. But using lament to study slavery allows us to focus on people who weren’t rescued, who didn’t triumph. #historicallament#CFH#AHA20
Timothy Fritz argues teaching slavery history can be made more effective when we integrate the biblical idea of lament into the narrative. Uses Psalm 82 to illustrate the point. . #CFH#AHA20
