In the early 1960s, a new religious movement emerged in the United States. It was called the Black Power Movement, and it advocated for black people to take control of their own lives and destiny. One of the most popular symbols of this movement was a black Jesus.
The idea of a black Jesus was not new. In fact, it can be traced back to early Christianity, when some Christians believed that Jesus was born in Africa and had dark skin. But the Black Power Movement gave this idea new life and made it into a powerful symbol of black pride and resistance.
Black Jesus became a popular image in art, music, and literature during the Civil Rights Movement and beyond. He represented everything that black people were fighting for: equality, justice, and freedom. And he continues to inspire people today.
Here are just a few examples of how Black Jesus has left his mark on our world:
1) He’s been portrayed by some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
Denzel Washington played Black Jesus in the 1989 film “Glory” and Jamie Foxx won an Oscar for his portrayal of him in “Ray” (2004). More recently, actor Andre Holland played a modern-day version of Black Jesus in the TV series “The Chi” (2018-present).
2) He’s been featured in some iconic works of art.
One of the most famous paintings of Black Jesus is “Black Light” (1966) by African-American artist Faith Ringgold. The painting shows a black Jesus surrounded by a halo of light, with his arms outstretched in a gesture of welcome.
Ringgold said that she was inspired to paint Black Jesus after seeing how white people were portrayed in religious art. “They always looked so perfect, and they never looked like me or anybody I knew,” she said. “I decided that I would paint a black Christ because he should look like me and my family and my friends.”
3) He’s been the subject of several books and poems.
In his poem “A Black Man Talks of Reaping,” Langston Hughes imagines what it would be like if Black Jesus came back to earth:
If Jesus Christ were alive today, He wouldn’t be a Christian… He’d be one of us—a Negro— Rejecting all your lies and frauds, Preaching love between man and man, And brotherhood among all men
And in his novel “The Autobiography of Malcolm X,” author Alex Haley reimagines the last moments of Malcolm X’s life, in which he sees a vision of Black Jesus:
And then I heard this voice saying to me—as plainly as if the person had been physically present there beside me—' Malcolm! Malcolm! Malcolm! Be not afraid.' It was the voice of someone I had known intimately all my life long. But at that moment I realized that I had never before heard THAT Voice; it was the voice of my own conscience… And then suddenly it seemed as though the whole room were filled with a bright light… In that light, I saw THE FACE OF A BLACK MAN!
4) He’s been invoked in speeches and protests.
When Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous “I Have A Dream” speech at the March on Washington in 1963, he invoked Black Jesus when he said: “I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; 'and THE GLORY OF THE LORD SHALL BE REVEALED,' AND ALL FLESH SHALL SEE IT TOGETHER."
And during the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles in 1992, protestors held up signs that read “Black lives matter… even to God” and “Jesus was black… get over it!” These protesters were using Black Jesus as a symbol to demand justice for Rodney King.
