Staples About: We live in a strange time, at least that\u2019s what the story of the praise break reminds us. It\u2019s the tale of an ecstatic dance rooted deep in race, religion and American history. It traveled centuries of oppression and made its way to present times where it\u2019s been rejected by today\u2019s social elites. Maybe because it looks crazy? Or maybe it\u2019s dismissed because it unearths some dark reality that we\u2019re not comfortable dealing with? You be the judge. &amp;nbsp; Show Notes:  [03:03] \u201cClap Hands\u201d by Tom Waits [03:20] \u201cTemple of Praise ~ Praise Break\u201d [04:45] The Temple of Praise [05:10] @bishopstaples [08:20] \u201cParade Shoes\u201d by Blue Dot Sessions [09:40] \u201cSlow Strutt\u201d by Blue Dot Sessions [14:00]  @cornelwest [14:02] More on the late  Marion Barry (Washington Post, 2014) [14:04]  @tdjakes [14:06] Pastor Sherman Watkins [17:10] \u201cWhen We Set Out\u201d by Blue Dot Sessions [20:35]  Dr. Harold Dean Trulear [21:10]  The Triangular Trade [21:25] \u201cThe Silver Hatch\u201d by Blue Dot Sessions [21:45] On Rudyard Kipling\u2019s  White Man\u2019s Burden (Wikipedia) [22:00]  More on slaves and Christianity (Christianity Today, 2014) [22:10] And another  worthy read (PBS, 2004) [23:30] \u201cShout\u201d by the Isley Brothers [25:00] On Daniel Alexander Payne and the  African Methodist Episcopal Church (Wikipedia) [25:38] \u201cTransit Vidal\u201d by Blue Dot Sessions [26:25] \u201cOh Happy Day\u201d by the Edwin Hawkins Singers   Another video of Mahalia Jackson worth watching    [26:40] \u201cHow I Got Over\u201d by Mahalia Jackson [28:28] \u201cStreamer\u201d by Blue Dot Sessions [29:53] Joshua Lazard [31:15] C.
