Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the fascinating history of the First Colored Baptist Church in North America, painting a vivid picture of the challenges and triumphs faced by its dedicated members. Set against the backdrop of a society steeped in racial inequality, the author chronicles the church's humble beginnings in the late 18th century, its struggles for recognition and religious freedom, and its unwavering commitment to the principles of the Baptist faith. The book delves into the lives of influential figures, including founder Andrew Bryan, whose unwavering leadership guided the church through tumultuous times, and prominent white citizens who extended their support despite the prevailing prejudices of the era. It also explores the church's unique contributions to the spiritual and social fabric of the African American community, highlighting its role as a sanctuary, a center for education and activism, and a beacon of hope during a period marked by oppression and injustice. Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, this book sheds light on the resilience, faith, and determination of a remarkable congregation. It offers a valuable contribution to our understanding of the African American religious experience and the ongoing struggle for equality in the United States. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st ed. 7 photos and illustrations (including frontis), illustrations, 264p. Original blue cloth. 19 cm. Ends of backstrip and corners slightly rubbed. A few faint spots on cover. Minor foxing on page edges. Original floral endpapers still attractive and showing only modest wear. An unusually nice copy of this scarce book. First African Baptist Church, as it is now known, in Savannah is generally regarded as the first African American church in North America. The church claims 1773 as the date of their organization. Simms, the author of this book, was born into slavery in Savannah in 1823 and baptized at this church in 1841 and apparently expelled from that church soon after for lack of humility. Simms became a minister and served at least briefly in the Georgia House of Representatives during Reconstruction. In 1868 he established a newspaper (Southern Radical and Freedmen's Journal or Freemen's Standard), apparently the first African American-owned newspaper in Savannah.
