Organizing Congregations To Create Change - LAM Archives September 1999
Looking Back to Our Roots:
LAM is a steady movement in the Black organizer community. Even today, in COVID-19, there is a changing of the guards at all levels. In the church, we see our elders giving way to a new generation of faith-based leaders. This younger generation of black activists are critical thinkers, well-read, well traveled, bold, deserving, humble, and prepared freedom fighters.
LAM is a movement that is actively creating a new generation of empowered pastors and lay leaders from small neighborhood congregations. It has one of the oldest success models for urban congregations. Join us. Make a donation. Pray for us.
