Black Liberation Theology is a theological perspective that emerged in the 1960s, highlighting the liberation of Black people from oppression and advocating for social justice. It seeks to interpret Christian scripture through the lens of Black liberation and aims to address issues of racism, economic inequality, and political empowerment within the context of Christianity. Black Liberation Theology often emphasizes solidarity with the marginalized and oppressed, drawing inspiration from the struggle for civil rights.
