Julia Moore
co-founder
Julia Robinson Moore (Ph.D., Michigan State University) joined the Department of Religious Studies at UNC Charlotte in 2005. She teaches courses in African American religion, religions of the African Diaspora, and racial violence in America. Her first book, Race, Religion, and the Pulpit: Reverend Robert L. Bradby and the Making of Urban Detroit (2015), explores how Second Baptist Church of Detroit’s nineteenth minister became the catalyst for economic empowerment, community-building, and the formation of an urban African American working class in Detroit. Her current research project, Remembered: Enslaved Burial Grounds and the Making of Charlotte's Presbyterian Communities was conceived out of her eighteen-year experience as an ordained Presbyterian minister serving defacto-racially segregated Presbyterian churches within the Presbytery of Charlotte (PCUSA) in Charlotte, NC. As a scholar of African American religion and history for over twenty-two years, Dr. Moore created a way for her research to directly enhance communal relations within the Presbyterian communities she served by establishing a community-engaged component of her work titled, Preserving Sacred Spaces Initiative (PSSI). As the principal and director of PSSI, Dr. Moore endeavors to bring connection and conciliation to church communities historically divided by the legacies of slavery.
