On July 22, in announcing the federal indictment of Charleston killer Dylann Roof, Attorney General Loretta Lynch commented that the expression of forgiveness offered by the victims’ families is “an incredible lesson and message for us all.”
Forgiveness and grace are, indeed, hallmarks of the Black Church.
Since slavery, the church has been a formidable force for the survival of blacks in an America still grappling with the residual effects of white supremacy.

The 1920s in America were the period of the famous Roaring Twenties.
Also called the Jazz age, this was the period of jazz, art deco, southern renaissance,
surrealism and many more styles and movements but at the same time the American artists moved from
the European tradition by becoming more political, commenting on social issues
and describing the problems of both low and high social classes.
