Description
*Condition Note: Book is gently used, however it is moderately underlined. *
Did you know that the first Adventist to be entrusted with the spirit of prophecy was a man of African heritage? Did you know that the first black woman sent by any denomination as a missionary to India was a young Seventh-day Adventist? Did you know that the first Negro woman to complete the requirements for a Ph.D. degree in America was also an Adventist?
Black Seventh-day Adventists comprise more than one sixth of the church membership in North America. Such a significant number would perforce share in a significant amount of denominational history, and indeed would have a significant history of their own. That is what Louis B. Reynolds has drawn here, the result of many years of patient research and interviewing. Church-wide issues and the founding and development of major and minor institutions are reviewed, as well as human-interest vignettes of individuals and local successes. The volume is enhanced with specially commissioned paintings by Harry Anderson.
