Additional Details

A sermon by the grand old man of the African-American church. Crummell (1819-1998), minister, historian, and social activist was also one of the co-founders of the American Negro Academy. Crummell provides us with a retrospect of a half century in the ministry, during some of the most difficult and formative years of the nation and its people of African descent.
