About This Item
8vo original cloth, 260 pp. Backstrip somewhat faded and lettering on front cover is rubbed, paper a bit aged, but only slightly. Very good overall. Bishop William Moses was known as the "Baptist Garvey", and was actually a close friend of Marcus Garvey. He stood by Garvey when he was under attack and indicted for mail fraud, and continued to speak out in his behalf. Unfortunately he was also involved with Garvey in a disastrous attempt to negotiate an agreement with the Ku Klux Klan. Garvey lost a lot of supporters because of this, and Moses, pastor of the Philadelphia Zion Baptist Church, was asked to leave the church by the elders. This work focuses on the subjugation of the dark races by whites. Moses' goes through history to make his point, and much of the discussion is on the international community. His solution for black advancement seems to be "black evangelism", or an active role of the church in the social and political development of the dark races.
