A propos de cet article

8¾" x 5½". Red cloth, title gilt. Pp. [author frontis], 276 + three page table of contents and 23 plates interspersed. About good: spine appears to be fully perished and crudely repaired with tape; endpapers crudely renewed; hinges cracked but holding; scrawled pencil notations to verso of frontis and last (blank) page; several leaves with tiny tears, folds or faint stains at edges. This is a thorough and compelling history of an organization of Black Baptist churches in Georgia, the Walker Baptist Association (WBA). It was compiled by Reverend R.J. Johnson, who served as pastor of four churches and treasurer of the association. WBA was organized in 1868 with seven churches in Jefferson County, Georgia. At the time of this book's publication WBA covered eight counties and included a Sunday School program, missionary department, women's auxiliary and a high school, known as the Walker Baptist Institute (WBI). According to their website, WBA is "striving today, with the same mission: To Educate and Train." The book provides a detailed chronology of WBA, including background on its leaders, churches, programs and WBI. One chapter was devoted to the WBA meeting of 1900, at which attendance "broke all former records" and the debt that had been acquired by WBI since its 1881 opening was paid in full. There are extended biographies of both "fallen heroes" and living leaders including the president of the women's auxiliary, Elizabeth Berrien, in whom WBI had "a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." The book also has lists of officers and pastors, and a chart of church data including membership counts and when each joined WBA. One table listed WBA meetings over the years, revealing locations, officers and money raised. Twenty-three photographic illustrations show churches, school buildings and WBA leaders including one woman, WBI teacher Inez Johnson. A rich history of an association of African American Baptists in Georgia, which its author contended was "an institution that stands for the moral, industrial and intellectual uplift of one race of the world's great family."

Description de la boutique

You may notice that despite the name of our business, you won't find a lot of books here. While we do sell some printed matter, we specialize in selling original source materials that tell compelling American stories. Our principal abandoned a reasonably successful law career to do this full time because life is too short not jump out of bed excited to start a work day. Our slogan, “The Extraordinary History of the Every Day”, matches our approach to the trade: we seek to preserve the exceptional stories of everyday people. Most of these folks probably had no idea that their actions were anything other than ordinary. As you look through our website and catalogs you'll find a wealth of compelling narratives. Also note that we don't limit ourselves to those lost to history as our work has enhanced many a wiki page. Considering our present inventory, you might also think we only buy and sell material related to underrepresented social groups and social movements. That's because of the response we receive from customers for this type of material and we would do nearly anything to avoid practicing law again. Truth be told, we get excited about preserving all sorts of interesting stories so the more you would educate us about your collecting interests, wants and what gets you excited, the more likely we'd recognize this material as something we should bring to market. So please feel free to reach out and tell us what you collect. Also, if you have items that you think may be of interest to us, please do not hesitate to write or call.…
