Book Description
Excerpt from The Master's Slave, Elijah John Fisher: A Biography The study of the past, one element Of history, is a guide in forecasting the future. On the one hand it is a caution, and on the other an inspiration. History is the truest biography, or biography is the truest history. The lives of men filling sacred or ecclesiastical posi tions have been the richest heritage of historians. Secular and sacred history would be void of much of its luster and potentiality, if it did not give the achieve ments of Luther, Calvin, Chrysostom, Wesley, Spur geon, and many other illustrious church characters. Our race group and our churches must tarry here long enough to learn the value Of this subject and the importance of the biographer's pen. That it is mightier than the sword applies here with more force and aptness than elsewhere. Deeply stirred by this fact, the author of this volume presents to the world the biography of the lamented Rev. E. J. Fisher, D. D.

Envisioning Freedom
Author: Cara CaddooPublisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674966864
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Viewing turn-of-the-century African American history through the lens of cinema, Envisioning Freedom examines the forgotten history of early black film exhibition during the era of mass migration and Jim Crow. By embracing the new medium of moving pictures at the turn of the twentieth century, black Americans forged a collective—if fraught—culture of freedom. In Cara Caddoo’s perspective-changing study, African Americans emerge as pioneers of cinema from the 1890s to the 1920s. Across the South and Midwest, moving pictures presented in churches, lodges, and schools raised money and created shared social experiences for black urban communities. As migrants moved northward, bound for Chicago and New York, cinema moved with them. Along these routes, ministers and reformers, preaching messages of racial uplift, used moving pictures as an enticement to attract followers. But as it gained popularity, black cinema also became controversial. Facing a losing competition with movie houses, once-supportive ministers denounced the evils of the “colored theater.” Onscreen images sparked arguments over black identity and the meaning of freedom. In 1910, when boxing champion Jack Johnson became the world’s first black movie star, representation in film vaulted to the center of black concerns about racial progress. Black leaders demanded self-representation and an end to cinematic mischaracterizations which, they charged, violated the civil rights of African Americans. In 1915, these ideas both led to the creation of an industry that produced “race films” by and for black audiences and sparked the first mass black protest movement of the twentieth century.
