  • A Heart to Heart Talk with You Over This Matter‖: Richard Henry Boyd, Elias Camp Morris, James Marion Frost, and the Black Baptist Schism of 1915
    History Research, Jan.-Feb., 2017, Vol. 7, No. 1, 20-29 D doi 10.17265/2159-550X/2017.01.002 DAVID PUBLISHING ―A Heart to Heart Talk With You Over This Matter‖: Richard Henry Boyd, Elias Camp Morris, James Marion Frost, and the Black Baptist Schism of 1915 Edward R. Crowther, Adams State University, USA Keith Harper, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, USA This paper explores the race and religion during the Progressive Era by examining the relationships between Richard Henry Boyd and Elias Camp Morris, two leading members of the nascent National Baptist Convention, an African American denomination, and Boyd’s relationship with James Marion Frost, the Corresponding Secretary of the white Southern Baptist Convention. Their interactions highlight the contours and limitations of ecclesiastical activity within and across the color line in the early 20th Century. Keywords: National Baptist Convention, race, African-Americans On February 2, 1916, Richard Henry Boyd, the African American publishing dynamo and entrepreneur, sent a twelve page epistle to James Marion Frost, the Corresponding Secretary of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Sunday School Board, the nascent, but soon-to-be mammoth publishing arm of white missionary Baptists in the South. The professional form of the missive only superficially masked the emotion and message of what Boyd revealed to his white counterpart. The National Baptist Convention, the nation’s largest organization of African American Baptists, was in the throes of schism. In writing this letter, Boyd engaged in a ―heart to heart talk‖ with Frost ―over this matter,‖ whereby he offered his version of recent events (Boyd, February 2, 1916).

Dr. Richardson, thank you for expanding my horizon of rhetoric far beyond the vantage point I expected when I entered the PhD program. Dr. Rambsy, thanks for introducing me to Digital Humanities and igniting an enthusiasm for where it could take me in my scholarly work. Dr. May, I am tremendously appreciative for your awakening me to the world of African-American Evangelical Literature—which fits perfectly into the wheelhouse of my profession and vocation. Special thanks to my wife (and biggest cheerleader), Sarai Ford, and daughter, Audrey Ford, for being my proofreaders and sounding boards throughout this project. Lastly, but most importantly, I would like to thank God for helping me maintain a work-life-ministry-family balance and the stamina to complete this monumental task. April 1, 2021 i Dedication I dedicate this dissertation to my father—the late Pastor Willie James Ford, Sr.—who inspired and shaped my love for preaching, and my mother—Rhunette Ford—who gave me my first concordance which helped nurture my logophilia.

  • Benjamin E. Mays
    Transcript Benjamin E. Mays (NARRATION 01) Benjamin E. Mays…minister, educator, scholar, and an apostle of peace… Mays was a significant mentor to civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and was among the most articulate and outspoken critics of segregation before the rise of the modern civil rights movement in the United States. (SOT) LAWERENCE CARTER “Mays is one of the most significant figures in American history.” (SOT) DR. JOSEPH PATTON III CEO for GLEAMS Human Resources Center “Without Mays there would be no Martin Luther King, there would be a Barack Obama for that matter.” (NARRATION 02) a look back at the life of the man known as the Father of the Civil Rights Movement. (:10) (MAIN TITLE) (NARRATION 03) EARLY LIFE 1 Benjamin Elijah Mays was born the youngest of eight children in the community of Epworth in Greenwood County on August 1, 1894. A son of former slaves, Mays’ childhood played a key role in shaping the monumental figure that he would become. (SOT) LOY SARTIN “They were a very religious family. At night his mother would call them into her room and pray for us. Mays said she would pray especially for me because I was the baby.” His earliest memory was of a white mob that approached his family’s home on horseback with guns drawn, forcing his father to remove his hat and bow before them repeatedly. The mob was associated with the Phoenix Riotwhich began in Greenwood on November 8, 1898. (SOT) Vernon burton “He was born at what’s called the nadir of race relations the worst period in American history Rights were taken away but he fought from day 1.” The atmosphere of hate, lynching, violence and forced segregation made a lasting impression on Mays, and his child-hood on his family’s tenant farm became the defining period of his life.
