First Fruits of Freedom
Author: Janette Thomas Greenwood
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807895784
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
A moving narrative that offers a rare glimpse into the lives of African American men, women, and children on the cusp of freedom, First Fruits of Freedom chronicles one of the first collective migrations of blacks from the South to the North during and after the Civil War. Janette Thomas Greenwood relates the history of a network forged between Worcester County, Massachusetts, and eastern North Carolina as a result of Worcester regiments taking control of northeastern North Carolina during the war. White soldiers from Worcester, a hotbed of abolitionism, protected refugee slaves, set up schools for them, and led them north at war's end. White patrons and a supportive black community helped many migrants fulfill their aspirations for complete emancipation and facilitated the arrival of additional family members and friends. Migrants established a small black community in Worcester with a distinctive southern flavor. But even in the North, white sympathy did not continue after the Civil War. Despite their many efforts, black Worcesterites were generally disappointed in their hopes for full-fledged citizenship, reflecting the larger national trajectory of Reconstruction and its aftermath.

The Word and Words Made Flesh
Author:
Publisher: Pelican Publishing
ISBN: 9781455614424
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 588
Book Description
In this spiritual autobiography, the author focuses on eight segments of the life and work of Jesus, their application to the ministerial vocation in the world today, and the particular mission of the Presbyterian clergyman over the past seventy-five years. Devout in his faith and beliefs, the author maintains a unique perspective. "I perceive my life, as well as the lives of others, in a rather different vein than does society in general, he says. I sense my life and the lives of others as 'God breathed'-life, and lives, coming from God. And, in a sense, the Word and words made flesh in each event." From his specialized viewpoint, he reveals the role of God and ministry in his life-a life that, in the end, will span no more than the space of two of God's breaths.
