In honor of Black History Month, MHD, co-host Chavonne Taylor, and special guest co-host, Maurice Johnson, speak with Dr. Lorn S. Foster about the history of the Black Church in Los Angeles.
Professor Lorn S. Foster is an Emeritus Professor of Politics at Pomona College renowned for his research on race, community, and power, with a focus on the African American experience. His work has particularly explored Black immigration to Los Angeles from 1900 to 1950 and the role of the African American church in social mobility. Foster's research is influenced by significant historical accounts and has been featured in discussions, including PBS panels, on the history of the African-American church in Los Angeles.
And be sure to stay tuned after the interview for our new segment "Sit-Down with a Staffer." Later We will hear from CD8 Legislative Deputy Maurice Johnson about the ways our office supports the faith community in the district.
