Carved in Ebony will take you past the predominantly white, male contributions that seemingly dominate history books and church history to discover how Black women have been some of the main figures in defining the landscape of American history and faith.Join Jasmine on this journey of illuminating these women--God's image-bearers, carved in ebony.
