Legacy, Charles Fox & Sarah Eleanor Parham: The Racial Roots of the Pentecostal Movement in the US

"The Legacy Charles and Sarah Parham left to their spiritual posterity, positions them among the most formidable couples in the history of the world. Yet, much of their contribution has been utterly misrepresented by persons seeking personal benefit. Racial hatred has been used as a motive to attempt to rewrite their history. They are easy targets because they were born white. Yet, their enemies were never people of color. Their enemies were and remain mostly white Americans...The main source of detestation toward the Parhams was from white men in leadership within the "Movement." Black ministers laying hands on white people was more than religious people like Warren F. Carothers, Howard Goss, and his Southern friends were willing to tolerate. From their lofty places, they judged Parham, and felt he must be stopped!" Carothers' work was in cohesion with the positions of the Klu Klux Klan (KKK) His friends helped form the Assemblies of God (AOG) where blacks could be excluded." -Bishop Bernie Wade, Author
