Skip to product information
African American history and Civil Rights Movement publication examining the role of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in the struggle against segregation and racial injustice.
Written by Howard D. Gregg, historian of the A.M.E. Church and former president of Daniel Payne College, the book discusses Richard Allen’s philosophy, civil-rights activity in South Carolina, Arkansas, Alabama, and Mississippi, the work of A.M.E. bishops and clergy, organized protest, and the church’s path forward. It includes an account of the 1960 Daniel Payne College student sit-in in Birmingham—three years before the city’s nationally recognized 1963 demonstrations—and references Rosa Parks and the Montgomery bus boycott.
Published in Nashville by the A.M.E. Sunday School Union and bibliographically dated 1970. This is a scarce church-issued primary source written from within the African American religious and civil-rights leadership of the period. The work continues to be cited in modern scholarship concerning the A.M.E. Church and the Civil Rights Movement.
Vintage softcover in good condition. The front cover has a handwritten notation reading “A.M.E. Church Began 1787.” Covers show general handling and edge wear. Interior pages display scattered age-related toning and foxing, primarily near the front, but remain clearly readable. Binding is intact. Please review all photographs for the exact condition.
