Today on The Metro, we're looking at how intertwined the Black church has been with Black American life in Detroit. We also look at the ways that relationship is evolving. Dr. Jason Shelton, professor of sociology and director of the Center for African American Studies at the University of Texas at Arlington; Rev. Lawrence W. Rodgers, senior pastor at Second Baptist Church of Detroit; and Dr. Deborah Smith Pollard, host of “Sunday Morning Inspiration” on Mix 92.3 and professor emeritus of english literature at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, join the show to discuss.
