Black theology and the 2008 U.S. presidential race UChannel 2010-10-12 | (Oct 29, 2008 at Cornell University) The 2008 Presidential Campaign took an unexpected turn in March when ABC television released a 30 second sound bite that combined 10 second sections of three of Dr. Jeremiah Wright's sermons. For the first time in the history of U.S. presidential elections, mainstream media and all Americans sought clarity on how does black theology of liberation and politics play out not only in the African American community, but in the entire nation. Dr. Dwight N. Hopkins is professor of theology at the University of Chicago Divinity School and has authored numerous books on race and black theology. Hopkins is a Communications Coordinator for the International Association of Black Religions and Spiritualities, a Ford Foundation sponsored project that unites delegates from 14 countries. He is a member of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
