History of the Negro Church (Woodson) / September 01, 2023

Requires Accordance 11.2 or above.

Carter G. Woodson, widely regarded as the “Father of Black History,” documents the history of the negro church in America from its inception through the early 20th century.

From the Preface:

“The importance of the church in the life of the Negro justifies the publication of this brief account of the development of the institution. For many years the various denominations have been writing treatises bearing on their own particular work, but hitherto there has been no effort to study the achievements of all of these groups as parts of the same institution and to show the evolution of it from the earliest period to the present time. This is the objective of this volume.”
