THE AFRICAN COMMUNALISM THEOLOGY RELIGION ESSAY
Owing to the interrelatedness, which is the underpinning principle of African communalism, every member of the community has the obligation to share with the others. Laurentia Magesa says: “Reluctance or utter refusal to share “with God, one’s ancestors, other persons in the community, and the community itself€¦destroys the ‘communitarian’ purpose of the universe and is immoral.” [19] Just as a fish cannot live outside water, an individual in African worldview knows that he or she has no meaning and no existence, once he or she is alienated from the community.

They became aggressive and bolder which caused them to press for their rights with persistent strength. It was in the cities where they began to manifest their impatience. Blacks were becoming urban dwellers. “Between 1940 and 1970 the black population outside the old confederacy increased from nearly 4 million to more than 11 million, representing almost 50 percent of the total black population.” As African Americans moved to cities to solve their problems, they discovered that they only increased. African Americans experienced poor housing and unemployment, but as time progressed things got better.
By the second half of the twentieth century there were essential indications that the government would soon act to improve the status of African Americans. President Eisenhower presented a four point proposal for civil rights in 1957. When the Congress passed the civil rights bill, Clarence Mitchell Jr. was appointed to fight the legislation. Clarence Mitchell Jr. was the director of the Washington Bureau of the
