Sneak Peak The importance of the church in the life of the Negro justifies the publication of this brief account of the development of the institution. For many years the various denominations have been writing treatises bearing on their own particular work, but hitherto there has been no effort to study the achievements of all of these groups as parts of the same institution and to show the evolution of it from the earliest period to the present time. This is the objective of this volume. Synopsis The History of the Negro Church is a book by Carter Godwin Woodson. It presents a thorough summation of the birth of Christianity in the African-American community in the USA. In this classic, Woodson traces the influence of the black church in America from colonial times through the early years of the twentieth century. Beginning with early church movements in the North and efforts to minister to slaves in the South, the author describes the origins of religious instruction for a race that he characterizes as "neglected" among an unenlightened colonial population. After the Civil War, the church took on a new, more important role in the black community. Church organizations and benefactors both domestic and foreign helped establish schools and churches to educate the newly freed blacks. Woodson argues that the church served as a Chamber of Commerce, educational facility, and a social centre.
