Description: This volume is a compendium of information about the people who worked to establish schools and churches in post-Civil War Alabama and descriptions of the major African American Baptist churches in that state. After a brief history on the development of slave religion, Charles Boothe devotes a chapter to Colored Baptist conventions after the war, including information on associations, membership size, offices and post offices. Another chapter of biographical sketches details the education, activities and family lives of important Baptist church and school leaders. Boothe concludes with histories of Selma University, Howard College, the Marion Academy and other post-war African-American schools and universities.
