Unsung: A Chronicle of Black Lutherans is the latest feature documentary by Fisher Films. It tells the history of Black Lutherans in the Southern United States as one not tainted by the sin of slavery, but as a story of faithfulness, hope, restoration, and empowerment. ​The Crumley Archives is committed to the task of telling the story of this rich history of Black Lutherans that until now has too often gone...unsung.
​
*This episode also highlights the experiences of current Black pastors in SC and gives consideration to the challenges for Black ministers serving in an historically predominately white denomination.
