Abstract

African Americans struggle with the concept of double consciousness in which they are aware of their national identity as Americans, but their racial identity is consistently devalued by systemic racial oppression. Through focus groups and interviews, this project demonstrated that after an individual embarks on a journey of genetic research substantiated with DNA testing in conversation with biblical genealogies, they will have a greater sense of belonging within the faith communities in which they are called to go serve. They will also have a clearer understanding of themselves, their racial identity, and an increased sense of dignity.
