The blacks whose ancestors were brought here as slaves are descended from animist religions not Islam.
They were instructed in Christianity by the slaveowners. This was considered a duty by most....part of that white man’s burden thing folks talked about back then.
They often attended the same church ...in the balcony of course or had their own.
They are as Christian as anyone else here if they choose to be roots wise.
When I grew up most blacks were as religious as whites ...back then almost everyone attended church, they just went longer and were more animated in their praise
First funeral I ever attended was black and in Clinton Miss on Northside drive out near Sumner Hill
Bump...and totally agree...
I’ve not seen more Christian folks than I have blacks in the South.
