Be sure to include historical and present examples relating to the socio-economic and political aspects of society.

Identify ONE visual aid (graph, table, chart, or figure) that demonstrates and informs us about the African American religious experience in the U.S. and provide an interpretation that connects to ANY aspect of ANY of the course assigned materials from Weeks One through Four. For this question, you must post and cite the visual aid from an OUTSIDE source (e.g., journal article, government, non-profit or academic website) and cite at least ONE source from course materials (include the week the source was assigned, e.g., Brailey 2007 - Week One)

Identify and provide a brief analysis of ANY policy, initiative, or programmatic activity (such as ministerial program, Church initiative, faith-based activity, social reform for policy advocacy, etc.) that demonstrates the practical significance (the impact on the everyday socio-economic and political lives) related to the African American religion experience in the U.S. Students must properly cite the organization, program/initiative/policy, and relate it to at least one course concept/topic/theme (liberation, social justice, servant leadership, etc.). Be sure to cite the course source.
