05:00 PM – 06:30 PM
An ecstatic, interracial religious movement erupted in Los Angeles in 1906. Led by charismatic Black preacher Rev. William Seymour and known as the Azusa Street Revival, the movement is considered the origin of global Pentecostalism. Hear from Marne L. Campbell, Associate Professor and Chair of African American Studies at Loyola Marymount; Gastón Espinosa, Arthur V. Stoughton Professor of Religious Studies at Claremont McKenna College; and CAAM History Curator, Susan D. Anderson, as they examine how California became home to a movement that defied social, racial, and religious convention and sparked a worldwide denomination. Presented in association with the exhibition, Enunciated Life. RSVP for Zoom details.
