In this episode, we are joined by Dr. W. Franklyn Richardson, Chairman of the Conference of National Black Churches (CNBC) and Senior Pastor of Grace Baptist Church (Mount Vernon, NY) for a riveting conversation about faith, race, and the survival of both in the Black community. Dr. Richardson outlines how Black churches have pivoted to meet the expanding needs of Black communities challenged by COVID-19 and weigh reopening decisions amid political pressure. The hosts for this episode are Clint Odom, NUL Senior Vice President of Policy & Advocacy and Toni Wiley, NUL Director of Advocacy.
