Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively examines the life and impact of the influential minister, Dr. A. Shepard. Born into slavery, Shepard's early life was marked by hardship and inequality. However, his unwavering faith and perseverance propelled him toward a life dedicated to uplifting his community. Ordained in his twenties, Shepard became a prominent figure in the post-Civil War revival movement, stemming from his profound work as pastor of the Baptist church in Raleigh. His fervent sermons and leadership in Sunday school and colporteur work played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Colored Orphan Asylum, an enduring testament to his compassion. Shepard's impact extended beyond his pastoral duties. He was instrumental in founding the National Religious Training School, a beacon of education for generations of African Americans. His foresight in establishing the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company empowered the community with financial stability. The author highlights Shepard's unwavering commitment to the spiritual and material well-being of his people, making this book an invaluable exploration of a life dedicated to social justice and progress.
