To Pave the Way for His People: A Life of Preston Taylor - Edward J. Robinson

Descriere

With this biography of Preston Taylor, Edward Robinson continues his groundbreaking work on the crucial role of African American leaders and churches in the Stone-Campbell movement. Robinson recounts the story of a brilliant, powerful, and flawed leader whose influence extended from Nashville to the national stage and continues even today. Taylor's organizational and business skills led to the creation of associations that gave both identity and agency to Black Disciples at a time when repressive laws and horrific prejudices made such action extremely difficult.
