- catalog abstract ""In this book, photographs and powerful prayers drawn from the collections of the Schomburg Center for Research n Black Culture span the broad spectrum of black religious traditions during the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries. From the plaintive Yoruba prayer to "Look after us/Look after our children" and the humble opening prayer of the Qur'an to "Guide us on the right path" to W.E.B. DuBois's prideful prayer to "Let [Thy children] grow in the capacity for worthy work ... and may they in the end prove worthy of their great heritage," this volume reflects the struggle, despair, determination, and triumph of the black experience through the ages. Drawing from faiths as diverse as Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and Vodou, the book also includes prayers from some of history's most powerful voices, among them Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, and Martin Luther King, Jr."--Jacket.".
