Across Africa, churches are still adorned with the image of a White Jesus, an image that is historically inaccurate but remains deeply ingrained in Christian spaces. How did this portrayal come to dominate, and why does it persist today?

In this video, we visit a church in Kenya and explore how European colonialism shaped the way Jesus is depicted in Africa. The story reveals how these images weren't just about faith - they were tools of control, reinforcing colonial power structures and cultural superiority.

The White Jesus myth is not just a harmless cultural difference. It's a legacy of colonialism that continues to shape African identity and faith. But there's a growing movement across the continent to reclaim a Biblically more accurate and authentic depiction of Christ.
