Although there has been some controversy about the role of religion in the black community, this research found that religion was an important source of collective and political action among blacks in Washington, D.C. Those who frequently attended churches where pastors attempted to politicize their flock, and those who identified as pentecostals or who reported a pentecostal experience, were more supportive of collective action, reported higher rates of political participation, and showed more support for Jesse Jackson. These results suggest that the black church is a positive force in black political mobilization
