Description: In this article for the Journal of Negro History in 1922, Brooks traces the slow transition in the Baptist Church from integrated congregations to separate churches for the races. He points out the tensions caused by slavery that led to this separation, but argues that official relationships between the Churches were never entirely severed. He concludes with a paean to the success of the African American Baptist Church.
