Summary
"The emergence of Black churches at the beginning of the nineteenth century was crucial to the survival of Black people in Pennsylvania and in the North because it provided two key resources. First, it provided a sense of meaning and destiny grounded in hope. Secondly, the Black church provided the institutional base for the economic, social, and political struggle of Blacks, including the struggle to eliminate slavery and all forms of racism. For Blacks throughout the nineteenth century, religion was both an instrument of protest and a source of relief. " [from the article]
