Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RECIPIENT OF THE 2023 BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD FROM THE MISSISSIPPI HISTORICAL SOCIETY RECIPIENT OF THE ANNA JULIA COOPER AND C. L. R. JAMES AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING SCHOLARLY PUBLICATION IN AFRICANA STUDIES FROM THE NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR BLACK STUDIES 2023 ASALH BOOK PRIZE FINALIST From lesser-known state figures to the ancestors of Oprah Winfrey, Morgan Freeman, and James Meredith, Mississippi Zion: The Struggle for Liberation in Attala County, 1865–1915 brings the voices and experiences of everyday people to the forefront and reveals a history dictated by people rather than eras. Author Evan Howard Ashford, a native of the county, examines how African Americans in Attala County, after the Civil War, shaped economic and social politics as a nonmajority racial group. At the same time, Ashford provides a broader view of Black life occurring throughout the state during the same period. By examining southern African American life mainly through Reconstruction and the civil rights movement, historians have long mischaracterized African Americans in Mississippi by linking their empowerment and progression solely to periods of federal assistance. This book shatters that model and reframes the postslavery era as a Liberation Era to examine how African Americans pursued land, labor, education, politics, community building, and progressive race relations to position themselves as societal equals. Ashford salvages Attala County from this historical misconception to give Mississippi a new history. He examines African Americans as autonomous citizens whose liberation agenda paralleled and intersected the vicious redemption agenda, and he shows the struggle between Black and white citizens for societal control. Mississippi Zion provides a fresh examination into the impact of Black politics on creating the anti-Black apparatuses that grounded the state’s infamous Jim Crow society. The use of photographs provides an accurate aesthetic of rural African Americans and their connection to the historical moment. This in-depth perspective captures the spectrum of African American experiences that contradict and refine how historians write, analyze, and interpret southern African American life in the post-slavery era.

Download or read book Searching for Zion written by Emily Raboteau and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2013-01-08 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Jerusalem to Ghana to Katrina-ravaged New Orleans, a woman reclaims her history in a “beautifully written and thought-provoking” memoir (Dave Eggers, author of A Hologram for the King and Zeitoun). A biracial woman from a country still divided along racial lines, Emily Raboteau never felt at home in America. As the daughter of an African American religious historian, she understood the Promised Land as the spiritual realm black people yearned for. But while visiting Israel, the Jewish Zion, she was surprised to discover black Jews. More surprising was the story of how they got there. Inspired by their exodus, her question for them is the same one she keeps asking herself: have you found the home you’re looking for? In this American Book Award–winning inquiry into contemporary and historical ethnic displacement, Raboteau embarked on a ten-year journey around the globe and back in time to explore the complex and contradictory perspectives of black Zionists. She talked to Rastafarians and African Hebrew Israelites, Evangelicals and Ethiopian Jews—all in search of territory that is hard to define and harder to inhabit. Uniting memoir with cultural investigation, Raboteau overturns our ideas of place, patriotism, dispossession, citizenship, and country in “an exceptionally beautiful . . . book about a search for the kind of home for which there is no straight route, the kind of home in which the journey itself is as revelatory as the destination” (Edwidge Danticat, author of The Farming of Bones).

Book Synopsis Citadels of Zion by : Robert Milton Winter
Download or read book Citadels of Zion written by Robert Milton Winter and published by . This book was released on 2023-06 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a previous study, Outposts of Zion: A History of Mississippi Presbyterians in the Nineteenth Century, Robert Milton Winter succeeded masterfully in portraying the theology, practices, worship, and work of pioneer Presbyterians-including missions to the Indians, the Civil War, and the development of women's service to the Church. The two-volume Citadels of Zion combines the coherent, overall narrative with dozens of vignettes to construct a mosaic of Presbyterian work and worship. His consistent style-appreciative realism-permits him to be critical and respectful at the same time. As just one important example, he sets the defection of many Presbyterian congregations in the 1970s and afterwards in the context of historic "realignments" of Mississippi Protestant denominations and in national politics. In vignettes and sidebars, he quotes founders of the National Presbyterian Church (as it was first termed) and the regional and national leaders of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. (PCUS) and the United Presbyterian Church, U.S.A. (UPUSA). He treats the reasons Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) members cited for the split, but also points to underlying racism and sexism that were pervasive but unacknowledged. He follows the divisions that occurred in each presbytery and in many of the congregations and recounts the subsequent repentance of PCA leaders in 2006 concerning the racist proclivities of some early leaders. Winter memorializes individual contributions of hundreds of Mississippi Presbyterians-those who led Women of the Church, Presbyterian Women, African American caucuses, pioneers in ordination and mission work from all backgrounds, civil rights leaders, seminary faculty, long-serving pastors and church staff members. He writes of the development, vitality, and sometimes the demise of small congre¬gations as well as large ones. For decades, Winter served as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Holly Springs, Mississippi. Naturally, he draws many illustrations and insights from the inner workings of that congregation. William F. Winter, and elder in the Fondren Presbyterian Church of Jackson was Governor of Mississippi in the early 1980s. Governor Winter, who spent most of the rest of his career in other public service, provides a foreword and several vignettes as well.

Book Synopsis Outposts of Zion by : Robert Milton Winter
Download or read book Outposts of Zion written by Robert Milton Winter and published by . This book was released on 2021-06 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An encyclopedic history of Presbyterians in Mississippi, this book provides a wealth of information on the pioneers, early missionaries to the Indians, preachers, committed elders, and the congregations and governing bodies of the Presbyterians from the time of their first entry into the territory at the turn of the nineteenth century, with detailed treatment of Civil War events, Reconstruction, the role of women in the Church and Mississippi's descent into the Jim Crow era. An Alabama Presbyterian wrote in 1819 of his tour through Mississippi, finding it as "destitute of regular preachers" as his own state. In fact, the 1815 Synod of Kentucky commissioners had authorized forming a "Presbytery of Mississippi." The Alabama traveler had correctly identified the problem, for Mississippi Presbyterians had yearned for more ministerial leadership for decades. And the need for missionaries to Native Americans was critical. Winter treats the issues of that time-what and how to teach Native Americans; how to deal with complex issues of slavery and manumission; how to reconcile the Christian gospel with tribal religion and culture. He devotes significant space to the treatment of slaves, of whites' preaching to them, and the development of pro-slavery Presbyterian theological stances. He devotes a whole chapter to the ministry of James Adair Lyon, pastor in Columbus Mississippi who advocated church involvement in the public square, reform and abolition of slavery, and reunion of the divided branches of the Presbyterian Church-all generally unpopular in the Mississippi of his day. Since Winter has served for many years as pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Holly Springs, he naturally mines the minutes, diaries, and letters of members of that significant congregation to describe much of nineteenth-century Presbyterian life. Part of the special value of this work is the insight a dedicated and competent pastor can give to the whole fabric of Christian living-to the ministry of women's groups, Sunday schools, mission involvement, stewardship habits, and the moral emphases through time, including some of the members' quirks-all things which are generally neglected in a larger narrative. 94 illustrations, including studies in church architecture. Fully indexed.
Download or read book Called to the Fire written by Chet Bush and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the true story of Dr. Charles Johnson, an African American preacher who went to Mississippi in 1961 during the summer of the Freedom Rides. Fresh out of Bible School Johnson hesitantly followed his call to pastor in Mississippi, a hotbed for race relations during the early 1960’s. Unwittingly thrust into the heart of a national tragedy, the murder of three Civil Rights activists, he overcame fear and adversity to become a leader in the Civil Rights movement. As a key African American witness to take the stand in the trial famously dubbed the “Mississippi Burning” case by the FBI, Charles Johnson played a key role for the Federal Justice Department, offering clarity to the event that led to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This story of love, conviction, adversity, and redemption climaxes with a shocking encounter between Charles and one of the murderers. The reader will be riveted to the details of a gracious life in pursuit of the call of God from the pulpit to the streets, and ultimately into the courtroom.

Download or read book The South Mississippi Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church written by Rev. Barbara Devine Russell and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of the histories of the establishment and growth of the churches that comprise the South Mississippi Annual Conference (SMC) of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Zion Church from 1891 to 2013. Due to the vigorous evangelistic activity of missionary preachers Grandison (Granderson) Sims, I. J. Murphy, and others, you will discover several of the churches were founded before the SMC was organized in 1891. Even though each church history is unique, we find that the struggles are the same. God has been good. He brought us through. Churches were organized under old oak trees, some in brush harbors, and others in members homes. All churches lost their identity during the civil war; and later, some burned, some were blown away by hurricanes, and others collapsed. But God has been good. He brought us through the storm, the wind, and the rain and allowed us to rebuild bigger and better each time. Now we can worship in comfort. The SMC is a loving and caring family of churches that have struggled and survived together for over two hundred. We have grown, but there is still much room to grow. Still more territory to conquer for the kingdom of God and Jesus Christ.
