  • LEADERSHIP of the AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL ZION CHURCH in DIFFICULT TIMES Submitted by Cynthia En
    TELLING A NEGLECTED STORY: LEADERSHIP OF THE AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL ZION CHURCH IN DIFFICULT TIMES Submitted by Cynthia Enid Willis Stewart, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Theology, January 2011. This thesis is available for library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature.......Cynthia Stewart........................................................... 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I could not have completed this labor without the help of Ian Markham whose insightful and thoughtful comments have shaped this thesis. His tireless encouragement and ongoing support over many years despite a busy schedule brought this work to fruition. To Bishop Nathaniel Jarrett of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, my heartfelt thanks for his superior editorial assistance. I thank my husband, Ronald, for his unwavering support. 2 ABSTRACT The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church connection is a major, historic Black Christian denomination which has long been ignored as a subject of serious academic reflection, especially of an historic nature. This was partly due to the lack of denominational archives, and the sense that historical inventory and archival storage could be a financial drain to the AME Zion Church such it could not maintain its own archives and indeed, retaining official records was kept at a far from super or archival level.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT In the mid-nineteenth century a compulsory education system was emerging that allowed all children to attend public schools in northern states. This dissertation investigates school attendance rates among African American children in New York State from 1850–1870 by examining household patterns and educational access for African American school-age children in three communities: Sandy Ground, Syracuse, and Watertown. These communities were selected because of their involvement in the Underground Railroad. I employed a combination of educational and social history methods, qualitative and quantitative. An analysis of federal census reports, state superintendent reports, city directories, area maps, and property records for the years 1820–1870 yielded comparative data on households, African American and European American, in which African American school-age children resided. The nature of schooling and the manner in which the household and community advocated for school attendance during this period are also described and compared.

  • The Ethiopian Prophecy in Black American Letters —Vincent L
    .375 .863 .375 5.813 5.813 HISTORY/RELIGION/LITERATURE/AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES Kay “Taking up the reading of a poignant passage of scriptures as analytical wedge, this work is an impressive study of the complexity of the history of African American identity formation and orientation to the world.” Letters American Black in Prophecy Ethiopian The —Vincent L. Wimbush, author of The Bible and African Americans “Sound, theoretically sophisticated, and yielding brilliant readings of the text, The Ethiopian Prophecy in Black American Letters will stand the test of time.”—Katherine Clay Bassard, author of Transforming Scriptures “Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out The Ethiopian Prophecy her hands unto God.” (Psalm 68:31) in Black American Letters or centuries, this verse, also known as the Ethiopian prophecy, has Fserved as a pivotal, seminal text for people of African descent in the Americas. Originally taken to mean that the slavery of African Americans was akin to the slavery of the Hebrews in Egypt, it became an articulation of the emancipation struggle. It has also been used as an impetus for missionary work in Africa, as an inspirational backbone for the civil rights Roy Kay movement, and as a call for a separate black nation. In this intriguing work, Roy Kay offers a series of close readings to examine the myriad uses and conceptualizations of this biblical passage in African American literature and history. Utilizing texts by Richard Allen, Maria W. Stewart, Kate Drumgoold, Phillis Wheatley, Martin Delany, W.E.B. Du Bois, Marcus Garvey, and Ralph Ellison, Kay explores not only the wide variety of ways this verse has been interpreted over the past two centuries but also what it reveals about the changing nature of African American identity.

    ABSTRACT DUNCAN, ERIC THOMAS. “Make the Letters Big and Plain” : A History of Black Education in North Carolina. (Under the direction of Dr. Susanna Lee). This paper traces the history of black education in North Carolina from the antebellum era through Reconstruction. During the antebellum period, this paper examines how slaves, through largely individual efforts, used education as a tool of resistance. In the second chapter, this paper explores how the Civil War and subsequent emancipation changed the nature of black education from a largely individual struggle to an area of community activism. The third chapter and epilogue explore how blacks used their newfound political power in the post-Civil War era to advocate public schools in North Carolina. “Make the Letters Big and Plain” : A History of Black Education in North Carolina by Eric Thomas Duncan A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of North Carolina State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts History Raleigh, North Carolina 2011 APPROVED BY: _______________________________ ______________________________ Susanna Lee James Crisp Committee Chair ________________________________ Drinda Benge DEDICATION To my mother and father, for their unconditional love and support. ii BIOGRAPHY Eric Duncan was born and raised in Sarasota, Florida.

  • The History of Piney Grove African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church
    The History of Piney Grove African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church 1864 thru 2008 Researched and written by Eilatan On January 20, 1864, Rev. James Walker Hood arrived in New Bern, North Carolina. He was responsible for the setup and organization of several area church congregations in and around New Bern, to join the African Methodist Episcopal Zion (AMEZ) Church, under the North Carolina Conference. At that time, Superintendent Joseph Jackson presided over the North Carolina Conference (established in 1864) under the 4th District of the AMEZ Church. Rev. J. W. Hood's presentation of the AMEZ church's doctrines so impressed the few community leaders in North Harlowe that they decided to formally express their religious emotions by organizing Piney Grove AMEZ Church In 1865. Initially, the Church was named the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, South of the County, and constructed on land purchased from Mr. John George. In 1868, the general conference of the AMEZ Church convened in Washington, D.C., and appointed Bishop John Jamison Moore to preside over the 3rd District, of which North Carolina was a part. In 1872, Rev. J. W. Hood was elected as Bishop of the North Carolina Conference and noted as the first Bishop of Piney Grove. Piney Grove AMEZ Church's detailed narrative is unavailable because of the scarcity of chronological historical data on its members, church leaders, ministers, elders, and bishops from its origin until the 1930s. It can be surmised that the ancestors of some of the present members of Piney Grove were instrumental in its foundation and continuous membership rolls.

  • Black Churches and the Civil War: Theological and Ecclesiastical Significance of Black Methodist Involvement, 1861-1865*
    Methodist History, 32:3 (April 1994) BLACK CHURCHES AND THE CIVIL WAR: THEOLOGICAL AND ECCLESIASTICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF BLACK METHODIST INVOLVEMENT, 1861-1865* SANDY DWAYNE MARTIN The advent, duration, and impact of the American Civil War marked an ecclesiastical and theological turning point for independent black Chris­ tianity. One might argue that the civil conflict occasioned a kind of rebirth for independent black denominations. Theologically, black Christians, especially as the war progressed, interpreted the event as an intervention of God in human history. Finally, God, acting through and in spite of the activities of mortals, had heard the cries of an enslaved people, and as God had done in the past, the Divine One was liberating them from a hard hearted Pharaoh. But the faithful must not remain simply quies­ cent and passive; they must join in partnership with God to carry out the divine work in the world. Hence, black church leaders urged their com­ munities to respond by becoming soldiers in the physical battle and mis­ sionaries, chaplains, and teachers in the spiritual and educational struggle. During this period and because of it, the independent black Methodists and Baptists did more than drastically augment their memberships to the extent that the numerical bases of the churches shifted south. In addition, they rejected merger with white groups and reaffirmed their identity and sense of mission as black churches through whom God would act to uplift their race spiritually and temporally throughout the world. 1 The purpose of this article is to examine in a limited manner the ecclesiastical and theological impact of the Civil War upon the black churches.
