Abstract

This project focused on the issue of systemic denial and its impact on the African American church and community on substance abuse. The project's area of concentration was the African American churches located on the west side of Charlotte, North Carolina in the Charlie II Police District. The goal was to research whether or not the issue of systemic denial by the African American church and community help to aid the negative effect substance abuse has on individuals, families, communities, and the church. It is this writer's premise that the majority of African American churches are in a state of denial because of a lack of finances, education, and training. If denial does in fact exist, then the research would identify and give understanding to the full scope of consequences contributing to substance abuse.
