Some 100 people – Black and white, from elementary school-aged children to adults in their 80s – filed into the Agape Perfecting Praise and Worship Center in Orlando in October. They were there for a lesson in Black history from LaVon Bracy, the director of democracy at Faith in Florida, an Orlando-based religious nonprofit. Bracy, who has a Ph.D. in education, spoke to the crowd about the forced journey enslaved Africans’ took from their homeland to America during the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
