African American Protestantism is a denomination in African American culture. In the past some slaves joined slavery as a consolation that they should love their masters, because the last are also their brothers and sisters in Christ. During the Great Awakening that took place between 1720 and 1740, some Blacks joined the Evangelical churches like Methodist, Baptist, and Presbyterian. The Second Awakening that was between 1790 and 1815 attracted many slaves, and free black people to Evangelical Protestantism.

In the early twentieth century, the African American Blacks began to migrate from the rural areas to the cities; African American religion underwent further diversification. Baptist associations, and black Methodist denominations have become the mainstream churches for the black people in urban communities. Today much more African American people are Christians. They attend protestant churches, compared to the past where very few Blacks were Christians, and there were no churches for them. Though their religion has some African characteristics, like singing, and praying very loudly, they have a denomination that is known as African American Protestantism. (Jones, 2010)
