Protest and Progress - New York's First Black Episcopal Church Fights Racism (Hardcover)

As both a pre-eminent scholar of Black Angelican and Episcopalians and devout parishioner, the late James Hewitt writes an illuminating history of one of the most famous black congregations in America. From its humble beginnings, St. Philip's originated from classes conducted by Elais Neau and other Angelic clerks for the society for the propagations of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. From these cateisem classes emerged a highly educated, African-American group comprised of free and enslaved blacks. W.E.B Dubuois hailed it as the foundation for the Talented Tenth in his classic book Souls of Black Folk. After the American Revolution, St. Philip's has since become the church of middle-class blacks across New York City. Hewlitt's careful and precise scholarship chronicles over two centuries of the church's history, which fills a significant lacon in African-American Religious history.
