Past PHS LIVE: Charles L. Howard and Black Theology

November 9, 2020

On October 22, PHS welcomed The Reverend Dr. Charles Lattimore Howard for a conversation about Black Theology and its role in mass movements of the past and today.

Black Theology as a discipline can be traced back at least to the civil rights movements of the 1950s and has had a significant impact on seminarians, scholars, activists, and everyone in between since that time period. This conversation will explore the rich history of Black Theology and the theological implications of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Charles L. Howard is the University Chaplain at the University of Pennsylvania, his alma mater. Prior to his return to Penn, he served as a chaplain in hospice and hospital and as a street outreach worker to individuals experiencing homelessness in Philadelphia.
