Preferred term

black theological education  

Definition

  • The history of Black theological education is one of the most significant, but neglected stories in higher education. Some of the nation's leading African American preachers, intellectuals, college presidents, politicians, church officials, and civic leaders—from Anna Julia Cooper and Howard Thurman to Marian Wright Edelman and Andrew Young—have come from the ranks of these institutions.
