About this Collection

In 2020, moved by the nationwide uprising in the wake of the killings of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd, PHS staff began curating publicly-accessible Presbyterian responses to the renascent Black Lives Matter movement. This collection includes video of worship services and Bible studies, personal messages from pastors, and news coverage of Presbyterian responses to and with BLM from 2015 to 2021.
