Preliminary Guide to Black Materials in the Disciples of Christ Historical Society

From the Preface:

This Preliminary Guide to Black Materials in the Disciples of Christ Historical Society has a three-fold purpose: first, it is intended to provide researchers with a useful bibliographical tool; second, it is hoped that the appearance of the Guide will stimulate contributions of materials dealing with Black churches and churchmen of the Disciples movement; third, this Guide is one way in which the Society hopes to serve the goals of racial harmony, dignity, and mutual respect.

Two Races in One Fellowship

From the Foreword by Robert M. Hopkins:

At a time when racial misunderstanding in this country is just about as serious as has been confronted in many years, this helpful volume appears with its enlightenment regarding relationships between two dominant races in our American brotherhood. The author has done an excellent job as he presents the background out of which both our white congregations and Negro congregations have grown.
