This book was released on 2017-04-12 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Chronological History of the Roanoke Missionary Baptist Association and Its Founders from 18661966, Dr. L. Morings Boone has created a historical memorial to the founding fathers of the Roanoke Missionary Baptist Association. These men played a great part in shaping the destiny of the members of the Roanoke Missionary Baptist Association. Distinguished in their religious and public life, these men left their stamp on the history of the Negro Church of Northeastern North Carolina and Virginia. Dr. L. Morings Boone has done another tremendous job of restoring a history and legacy of African-American clergy who established a ministerial alliance against the backdrop of racial oppression and dismal circumstances. These faithful and courageous founding fathers led their congregations in such a way as to establish the Roanoke Institute to educate the children of northeastern North Carolina. Dr. Boone has searched tirelessly into the history of the association to discover the passionate work that drove these men against the tyranny of southern discrimination to elevate their communities through their Missionary Baptist efforts and through public education.

Download or read book Ante bellum Elizabeth City written by William A. Griffin and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to trace the development of Elizabeth City from its incorporation until its fall to Federal forces in the Civil War. In order to understand the beginning of the town, the history of the Albemarle area and Pasquotank County is developed from Indian occupation to the building of the Dismal Swamp Canal. This includes a coverage of the earliest settlements by Virginians in Carolina, the government of Pasquotank Precinct and County, the Revolutionary War sentiment, and the beginning of religious activities in the area. The need of a southern terminus for the Dismal Swamp Canal prompted the chartering of Elizabeth City in 1793. The town site, a fifty acre plantation located next to a crossroads and a ferry dock, was at the Narrows of the Pasquotank River. An account of each of the original incorporators and lot owners is given. The construction of public buildings in Elizabeth City after the town became the county seat is traced, as are the elections and proceedings of the town commissioners. The paper chronicles extensions of the town's boundaries and gives the actions of both the county court and the town commissioners in preparation for the arrival of Federal forces in the Civil War. Elizabeth City became the "Emporium of northeastern North Carolina" as the Dismal Swamp Canal funneled commerce into the town. This was evidenced by the appearance of new stores, industries, newspapers, hotels, transportation companies, banks, and the frequent construction of new homes. Except for periods of national panic, the town enjoyed prosperity. The histories of the town's newspapers are traced in detail. By the time of the war, three white churches and one Negro church were thriving. As a result of its schools, the town could boast of over eighty-five percent of its population being literate in 1860. The court house and, later, Avon Hall hosted both local and traveling talent in the town's cultural series. Excitement in the town-- from epidemics and murders to celebrations and political campaigns--is presented to sum up life in Ante-Bellum Elizabeth City.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Rest of the Dream, Lyman Johnson, grassroots civil rights leader, tells his own story. All four of Johnson's grandparents were slaves in Tennessee. Yet his father was a college graduate, principal of a black school, and the inspiration for his son's love of justice. Lyman Johnson was born in 1906 during the darkest days of segregation. He learned from his father not to sit in the "crow's nest" reserved for blacks in his hometown movie theater. This refusal to accept second-class citizenship became a guiding principle in Johnson's life. Johnson was almost forty-three when he won admission to graduate study at the University of Kentucky in 1949. Crosses were burned on campus. Because of his family commitments, he returned to his teaching position in Louisville and never completed his doctorate. Thirty years later the university that fought to keep him out awarded him an honorary doctor of letters degree. Johnson earned his doctorate the hard way—by saying no to the crow's nest and other marks of inequality. Johnson's graphic recall of people and incidents and his storyteller's talent for narrative make this record of a unique American life filled with suspense, humor, tragedy, and triumph.

This book was released on 1995-07-13 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culled from the records of the National Register of Historic Places, a roster of all types of significant properties across the United States, African American Historic Places includes over 800 places in 42 states and two U.S. territories that have played a role in black American history. Banks, cemeteries, clubs, colleges, forts, homes, hospitals, schools, and shops are but a few of the types of sites explored in this volume, which is an invaluable reference guide for researchers, historians, preservationists, and anyone interested in African American culture. Also included are eight insightful essays on the African American experience, from migration to the role of women, from the Harlem Renaissance to the Civil Rights Movement. The authors represent academia, museums, historic preservation, and politics, and utilize the listed properties to vividly illustrate the role of communities and women, the forces of migration, the influence of the arts and heritage preservation, and the struggles for freedom and civil rights. Together they lead to a better understanding of the contributions of African Americans to American history. They illustrate the events and people, the designs and achievements that define African American history. And they pay powerful tribute to the spirit of black America.
