Post-Script: Religion and the Civil Rights Movement I would like to introduce a related theme into this lesson to illustrate how religion continued...

Your lesson begins by discussing religious beliefs that originated in Africa and were first practiced in secret, as "conjure" or "voodoo." Nevertheless, these beliefs expressed slaves' faith that religious practices could lead to personal freedom. The lesson ends with two documents from the Civil Rights period, one from Dr. King (a Southern Baptist) and one from Malcolm X (a Black Muslim). Take one or the other and suggest a religious idea the modern writer expresses that has its roots in the older, African-based religious beliefs of slaves.
