Title:
Benjamin E. Mays - "The Second Two Hundred Years" (January 11, 1976)
Description:

  • The prophet does not ask questions of his or her calling but interprets the will of God to humankind because he or she has to; the prophet is under divine compulsion. In this second 200 years of life in the history of the US, God has called the black community to rise up like prophets and take the lead in creating a better nation. And that work is to start at Duke. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 31:23. Sermon end time: (Part 2) 10:24.

  • Key quotation: “I’m convinced that God meant that the initiative in our bicentennial year should be and must be taken by blacks.”
