white Christian Supremacy and Nationalism

We have chosen to launch the podcast on July 4th intentionally in order address the role of white Christian Supremacy in nationalism and to encourage people to think a little bit more deeply about this holiday and hypocrisy connected to the notions of freedom and liberation espoused to this country.

I'll work though some of the preliminary concepts of white Christian Supremacy , I’ll be unpacking why we chose to launch this podcast on July 4th and we’ll get to hear a little bit from Soulforce’s co-executive director, Rev. Alba Onofrio
