The New Voices of Black Freethinkers

Prof. Christopher Cameron, a history professor at UNC Charlotte, a member of Black Nonbelievers of Charlotte, and the author of the recently released book Black Freethinkers: A History of African American Secularism (Northwestern University Press), will speak about his book.  Here is an excerpt from the writeup on Goodreads.com:

“Black Freethinkers argues that, contrary to historical and popular depictions of African Americans as naturally religious, freethought has been central to black political and intellectual life from the nineteenth century to the present.  Freethought encompasses many different schools of thought, including atheism, agnosticism, and nontraditional orientations such as deism and paganism.”
