The Song “To Be Young, Gifted and Black” was written by Nia Simone and her bandleader Irvine Weldon as an homage to Lorraine Hansberry, the “A Raisin in the Sun” playwright after her death in 1965. In Matthew 19:13-15 Jesus pays homage to the young and gifted when he says “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.”
Pastor Marben in the third Black History Month sermons shares the teachings of Jesus about children and highlights the accomplishments of Olympic gold medalist Erin Jackson in a sermon entitled, “To Be Young Gifted And Black”.
