From the Plantation to the Pulpit: Slavery and the Origin of the Black Church is a supreme study into the true history of the Black church — stripped of romanticism, dismantled of illusions, and rebuilt on the foundation of Supreme Mathematics, Supreme Alphabet, 120 Lessons, and the 12 Jewels of Islam.
This book is not a sentimental journey through religion; it is a revelation of how the Black church rose from the blood-soaked soil of the plantations, how it carried forward the hidden Knowledge of the Original People, and how it became both a weapon for liberation and, at times, a tool for pacification. Born Power walks you through every stage — from the secret hush harbors of the enslaved to the rise of independent Black congregations, from the revolutionary fires of Nat Turner to the strategic mobilizations of the Civil Rights Movement.
Each chapter delivers a deep dive into the reality behind the traditions:
- How Christianity arrived in Africa long before colonization, and how it was weaponized by Europeans to enslave the mind and body.
- How enslaved Africans preserved their ancestral sciences by hiding them beneath Christian symbols and rituals.
- How the hidden church on the plantation served as a Cipher for resistance, planning, and spiritual survival.
- How figures like Nat Turner used the pulpit as a command center for rebellion against systemic evil.
- How the Black church became the organizing nerve center of the Underground Railroad and Reconstruction.
- How institutions like the AME Church symbolized Black self-rule, Black education, and Black political advancement.
- How the Civil Rights Movement — from Montgomery to Memphis — could not have moved without the force of Black religious institutions mobilizing the masses.
It explores the contradictions of the modern Black church in the 21st century:
- The shift from communal Building to capitalist mega-church empires.
- The loss of small-town, tightly woven congregations rooted in the everyday life of the people.
- The growing silence on Black issues, as sermons become more about prosperity and personal salvation than collective survival and sovereignty.
Drawing from primary historical sources like:
- Albert J. Raboteau’s Slave Religion (1978)
- Sterling Stuckey’s Slave Culture (1987)
- Vincent Harding’s There is a River (1981)
- C. Eric Lincoln and Lawrence Mamiya’s The Black Church in the African American Experience (1990)
- W.E.B. Du Bois’ The Souls of Black Folk (1903)
From the Plantation to the Pulpit is the supreme guide for anyone seeking to understand the spiritual warfare waged on the Black Nation, the resilience of the Original People’s divine Culture, and the necessity of reclaiming the Black church as an institution of Building, not begging; Power, not pacification; Godhood, not ghost worship.
