Call and Response goes to TCU
TCU alum L. Michelle Smith explores leadership in the Black church
Although the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. is the most well-known Black leader who emerged from the Black church, he is among a legion of Black leaders rooted in the church.
L. Michelle Smith, a TCU alum and former member of the Bob Schieffer College of Communication Board of Visitors, has examined how the Black church shapes people in her book, “Call and Response – 10 Leadership Lessons from the Black Church.”
Smith will discuss how the Black church makes leaders who are heart-centered, courageous, emotionally intelligent, innovative and masters of building community during a talk on Feb. 17 in the Robert Carr Chapel.
“These are the kinds of leaders we need today,” Smith said. “No matter what color you are.”
Smith interviewed 155 successful Black leaders, 76% of whom attributed their leadership skills to lessons learned in the Black church.
