Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the pulpit of Black churches provided a space where controversial and challenging ideas could be communicated to the Black community. In a 1967 address at Shiloh Baptist Church, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. denounced the Vietnam War as well as the Baptist Church. King's speech targeted the failure of the church in condemning an unjust and evil war, as well as the hypocrisy of a segregated Southern Baptist Convention that promotes missionary work in Africa. | Source: Cleveland State University.
