    100 years ago a white mob destroyed one of the wealthiest Black communities in America, killing hundreds. It’s a tragedy that’s been buried for a century, but still felt. I went looking for the truth. Watch our doc, Blood On Black Wall Street on MSNBC this Sunday at 10pm ET

    “I gave America Trayvon,” his mom, Sybrina Fulton told me the other day. “Trayvon belongs to America.” Such a deeply profound, wrenching thought. A mother gifting her son’s memory and meaning. A parent should never know such sacrifice or conjure such strength.

    Trayvon was a boy, taken too soon, too violently, 10 years ago today. He’d be 27 now, a man. Who knows who he would’ve become. But as much as he’s meant in death, he meant so much more, in life.

    We look at the history of the A.M.E. church, and Charleston’s Mother Emanuel in particular, to understand the role of faith in helping Black folks establish their post-Civil War freedom and keep them moving forward in the face of white supremacist backlash.

    We toss the word FAITH around easily. But true faith is more than just hopes and prayers. On Part 3 of our series, Reconstructed, we explore how faith for Black people has fueled resistance, rebellion and healing.
