    Alexander Crummell: unsung hero As we look back on the history of African-Americans we all can recall the names of Dr. Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks.

  • Growth Of A Black Middle Class Church
    3,143 words
    There is something tragically askew in the religious state of black Americans; namely, the near-failure of qualitative development in integrated and / or separate black middle-class churches and denominations. That same near-failure is of course evident in every mainstream Protestant denomination, black or white, whether the criteria be lack of growth or loss of adult membership, youth participation, trained clergy, theologically alert laity, or commitment to black ecumenism. But nowhere is this...
  • Free Black Family
    1,846 words

For example, women in frontier areas had a much stronger voice in family affairs than most sch...

Heavy criticism from both non-Mormon and Mormon parties mounted until 1978, when then Church president Spencer Kimball announced the repeal.

Carey 12: 00 pm - 1: 45 pm M-W-F Introduction The reason I took this class is because so much of my family's history has been entwined in the neighborhood called Bronzeville, or as some call it, The Low End.

These forces included those such as the powerful Church, the Black Death, and the maltreatment of the peasant class. Economic difficulties were fully manifested by the start of the fourteenth century. Countries of northern ...
