It connects Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount with church life, biblical teaching, and spiritual songs that sustained people under oppression. The text highlights black ministers’ resistance to slavery, the role of worship in segregation, and the belief that God stands with the oppressed and grants liberation. Matthew 5:3-12 and Amos 5:24 reinforce the message of justice and
