THE SHELLMAN STORY is the story of a Pastor and his Church locked
in battle over the racial issue in the early fifties of the
twentieth century because the Supreme Court had said black children
could go to school with white children in Shellman Georgia, and the
Pastor of the Shellman Baptist Church said it was the right thing
to do. But the people of that little Church in that little town
said they would not allow their Pastor to say such a thing because
it was contradictory to their hallowed traditions. The Pastor
insisted on preaching this new teaching, so they fired him, after
the hanging in effigy did not convince him that he was wrong about
what he believed was right. But there was a Remnant of the Church
who stood by their Pastor and the Remnant is the true Glory of the
Church. Here in THE SHELLMAN STORY Henry Buchanan has told how it
all happened fifty years ago. But because it seemed so strange to
the people who heard him and saw it all happen in Shellman Georgia,
Buchanan has included some tales from his boyhood which show how
the boy who grew up in a racially stratified home and community
became the man would challenge the Southern Tradition of his own
people, and be hanged in effigy for it, and in the end be fired by
the Church he served as God's spokesman in a time of great crisis
and turmoil because he believed he was Right.
