PRESBYTERIANISM. ITS RELATION TO THE NEGRO.

Philadelphia: John McGill White, [1897]. Introductions by Francis J. Grimke and John B. Reeve. Illustrated. Rare First Edition. Anderson [1848-1928] was an important African-American minister and educator in Philadelphia. He was a birthright Presbyterian—the heir of five generations of Presbyterian forbears going back to colonial days. In "Presbyterianism–Its Relation to the Negro," Anderson presents two challenges to the Presbyterian Church over race that are still relevant now as they were then. The Anderson’s family home was a part of the famous Underground Railroad. Their house and farm, located about three miles north of the Mason-Dixon line, became a haven for fugitive slaves looking to flee the South. A rare title! Small 8vo., dark-cranberry cloth, stamped in gilt; 263 pages. Item #58056
