This audio recording features a church service at Cascade United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. The service proceedings include songs, prayer service, the act of praise, and a sermon delivered by Joseph E. Lowery (at 00:58:05). In his sermon, Lowery speaks to the question of "I'm Black, but am I proud?" He explores the question of why you find a predominance of white preachers pastoring Black congregations but not many Black preachers pastoring white congregations. Lowery contends that a reason behind low attendance of white people at Black churches is because white people have not learned to accept Black leadership. In his sermon, he examines the strength of Blackness and the importance of love.The Atlanta University Center Robert W.
