[Rarebooks] fs: African American Baptist church, DC, 1904

[Back Creek Books, ABAA]

Greetings,

We offer:
~
Johnson, W[illiam]. Bishop (1858-?). THE SCOURGING OF A RACE, AND OTHER 
SERMONS AND ADDRESSES.
Washington, DC: Beresford, Printer, 1904. First printing, Original 
cloth, Octavo, viii, 228 pages, Frontispiece photo of author. Near Fine.
          Johnson, a minister in Washington, DC, was a leader in the 
early politicization of the African American Baptist church. This was a 
crucial period as African Americans, seeking organization as way to 
combat racist violence and discrimination, looked to the black church. 
Johnson was active in the formation and development of the American 
Baptist National Convention and the National Baptist Educational 
Convention. This volume contains many of his sermons, including his 
sermon on "National Perils" delivered at Second Baptist Church in 
Washington on October 20, 1889--a day set apart by the American Baptist 
National Convention for prayer that Southern outrages might cease. Bound 
in brown cloth over boards with spine titled in gilt. Tissue-guarded 
frontispiece photograph. Some slight extremity rubs to cloth. Very nice.
