Abstract
Although black denominational officials have voiced opinions on post-9/11 U.S.-Middle East relations, several barriers to visibility and effectiveness have hindered the prominence of these views. It is plausible that, by possibly shunning the black religious community's voice because of its often critical stances toward international U.S. policies, post-9/11 media coverage partly accounts for this hindrance. However, it is more likely that internal deficiencies in the advocacy capacities of historically black denominations account for the hindrance. For example, historically black denominations generally have no advocacy offices in Washington, their denominational websites contain very little public policy information, and they rarely produce and disseminate public policy materials among their constituencies.
