A new video combines person-on-the-street interviews with input from scholars and media personalities who ask whether black folk do atheism; several mention AAH Advisor Anthony Pinn's academic work advancing black humanism.
The new Black Folk Don't is on atheism. If you can make it through the first three minutes, there’s actually some fascinating info at 3:13, where the usual discussion on atheism takes an interesting turn. They also interview actual black atheists around four minutes in. Interestingly, many of the positions taken in the first half of the video are reasons why black atheists aren't more forthcoming with their beliefs.
