- Description:
- This audio recording features a church service at Cascade United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. The service proceedings include performances from the children and adult choirs and a sermon delivered by Joseph E. Lowery (at 00:11:01). Lowery opens his sermon by remarking that for the month of February, he will focus his sermons on a historical perspective of the Black experience in America. For this sermon, Lowery speaks on the topic of "lest we forget" in which he emphasizes the importance of remembering Black history and remembering God. He reminds his congregants to remember where they came from, give back to the institutions that helped to form them, and to not be driven by materialism.
