Description: In this article from the Journal of Negro History, Hartzell documents the role of African Americans in the Methodist Church in the United States. He begins his largely statistical report of the rise of the Church from John Wesley's baptizing of two slaves in 1758 and ends with an overview of the Church as it was in 1923. The period concerned includes slavery, emancipation, reconstruction and the first two decades of the 20th century.
