AB - Culture is central to social movements. However, religion – a significant part of culture – has been ignored as a central element in modern social movements. The black churches in America played an important role in the struggle for racial justice in the Civil rights movement of the 1960’s. In this essay, the notion of cognitive liberation will be applied to the black church. Cognitive praxis transforms groups of individuals into social activists and gives social movements their own meaning or consciousness. Next, this essay examines the Civil Rights Movement by using resource mobilization theory. Challenging the classical approaches on collective behavior which regard the participants in social movements as an emotional and irrational crowd, this study considers two questions: Firstly, if religion promotes political change, under what conditions is religion likely to be change-inhibiting or change-promoting? Secondly, why are religious experiences vital to the formation of the black church?
