Alton Pollard III, Dean and Professor of Religion and Cultures

Howard University School of Divinity In this presentation, Pollard speaks thematically to the continuous and contiguous character of our enterprise as people of African descent in the United States. The Black religious experience is the sacred repository of a people, conceived in the individual struggle and the historical travail created by the past, the recurrent challenges of the present, and the transcendent possibilities of the not yet. It is atrocity, pain, and suffering seared indelibly on a body collective that somehow also unfathomably and impossibly soars. It is prophetic hope outwardly directed toward public causes and solutions, and inwardly focused on a defining vision of religious and spiritual faithfulness with regard to self-identity and life. It invokes natural, supernatural and sacred agency that aids individual and communal survival and salvation, and seeks to make sense of that which is beyond the scope of current human understanding. Diversely engaged by the community in terms of gender, generation, indigenization, sexuality, socio-economic level, immigration, religious denomination and community and so on, Middle Passages grapples with the rational Black mind and the spirit of the ancestors - decolonizing our understanding of inherited traditions, creating a new word when and where necessary, and affirming the Black faithful every step of the way. 4:30 p.m. MPR Rooms B and C, Shriver Center Sponsored by the Black History Celebration Commttee, the Center for American and World Cultures, and the Honors and Scholars Faber Scholar-in-Residence Program with support from the Department of Comparative Religion, Interfaith Council, Office of Diversity Affairs, and Parent's Fund.
