More Than A Fraction Foundation is grateful for the opportunity to contribute to and sometimes lead the works, projects, and research that move towards a better understanding of the history of marginalized communities. This includes understanding the traumas and social reactions to historical events like enslaved communities, African-American terrorization, and the abuse of Indigenous and other marginalized communities, and how they interact with modern experiences. By better understanding, our goal is to inspire better interactions with these histories in our everyday work and in our interactions with each other.

Webinar:
The White Man's Religion? What Enslaved Africans Really Thought About Christianity Presented by the More Than A Fraction Foundation, this webinar will present what enslaved Africans really thought about Christianity - directly from their point of view. We will pull from first person narratives and accounts of formerly enslaved peoples and freeman from the 19th century (1800s) regarding their reflections when asked about Christianity. We will also explore how the phrase "The White Man's Religion" may have been lost in translation over time. |
