REGISTER HERE

Join us for a live virtual conversation about African-based Conjure Faith in the lowcountry. Dr. LeRhonda Manigault-Bryant, Professor of Africana Studies at Williams College, will screen her documentary short "death. everything. nothing." and use it as a case study to frame a conversation about the pervasiveness of conjure as its own faith practice within African American communities, including especially those of the SC lowcountry.

This is part of the CIC’s 8-part series titled, African American Religious Diversity and Dialogue. Only one registration is needed for the 8-part series. The complete schedule is below.

The James Sawers Jr. Interfaith Speaker Series is free and open to the public.
