A propos de cet article

A collection of photographs, letters and reports documenting the missionary work of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, an African American Baptist denomination. The materials document National Baptist missions in Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean, and date from the 1950s through the 1980s, when the organization was led by C.C. Adams, and by his successor, Dr. William J. Harvey III. The collection includes over 2000 photographs documenting missionary work abroad and organizational activities back home, as well as 53 letters and eight reports by missionaries working abroad. Includes the following: Photos A collection of 2045 photographs, dating from the 1950s through the 1980s. Most are black and white, with some color, ranging in size from snapshot photos to 8 x 10" professional photographs. A minority bear handwritten or typed captions on the backs; we estimate that several hundred are captioned. A number of these photos have been marked up or mounted for inclusion in the "Mission Herald", the organization's magazine. Photos overall in very good condition. Soiling, tearing or chipping to some photos, some photos with damage or loss to typed captions. The photographs document the activities of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, which was in charge of various missions in the Caribbean, Latin America, and Africa. The majority date from the secretaryship of Dr. William J. Harvey III, who took over from C.C. Adams in the 1960s. Harvey "was such a prominent figure in the Baptist Missionary world that his tombstone.refers to him as 'Mr. Foreign Mission' (Haas, "A Building Demolished, but the Mission Continues"). Most of the photographs relate to National Baptist Missions, primarily in Africa, including Liberia, Sierra Leone, Malawi, South Africa, and Swaziland. Missions in the Bahamas, Barbados, Jamaica, and Nicaragua are also represented. Pictured in numerous photos are African men, women, and children who prayed, taught, studied, received food, or received treatment at the missions. Also shown are African and African American mission staffers. Examples include images of teaching staff, classroom students, pre-schools, construction of mission buildings, sick children receiving treatment, religious ceremonies, church attendees, and much more. A particularly well identified series of photos depicts the P.I.M. missions in Malawi, including the "Women of the P.I.M. Domestic School of Arts", and "Ladies sewing on the side porch of Mrs. Josephine Minter.These ladies unloaded the truck of logs and other equipment for our lights." Another group of photos relates to the Bendoo Mission in Liberia, including one image of a group of girls, captioned "Girls asking for school. No school for girls here on Bendoo Mission. 'Why can't we girls go to school here.'" The Suehn Industrial Mission in Liberia features prominently in the archive as well, including a photo of a staffer interviewing the principal on a tape recorder "for the folks back home." A series of 8 x 10" images, many captioned, depicts missions in the Bahamas, including Ebenezer Baptist Church on Andros Island, a kindergarten and more. Many images document trips to missions made by visiting African Americans, including Harvey himself. He is shown praying with a congregation in Swaziland, giving instructions to missionaries on a bus in Africa, taking part in an "inspection team" in Malawi, and more. Another series of photos, meanwhile, depicts a trip to Africa made by members of a "preaching team." Finally, another significant group of images depict Foreign Mission Board activities in the United States. These include shots of Harvey visiting churches in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Austin, plus photos of banquets, speeches, sermons, and conventions. A particularly interesting series of photos shows educational and promotional displays set up by the Foreign Mission Board at various conventions, including the 1971 West Virgini.…
