Allendale UMC Offers Space for AP African American Studies Class

Justice-Seeking congregation, Allendale United Methodist Church, is offering a space for Advanced Placement African American Studies to be taught following Florida's push to ban this course in high schools. The church space is "for any educator to come in and teach AP African American Studies to any students or adults who want to know more."  

Rev. Andy Oliver, MFSA Board Co-President and pastor of Allendale UMC says “I believe we have to know our history, so that we can do better as a community. When one part of our community suffers, whether that’s Black or brown children or LGBTQ children, all parts are attacked. We are part of this inescapable network of mutuality that we have to stand in solidarity together.”
