This presentation and conversation will explore African traditions including Hoodoo, Haitian Vodoun, and Yoruba-derived traditions as practiced by African Americans. You will become acquainted with the history of these traditions, why they have evoked fear and bias in American Society and how they have served and continue to serve as sources of empowerment in African American life.
