Sample Documents
From time to time, the Project will post sample documents on this
web site. These will include both documents
to be published in one of the volumes of African-American
Religion: A Historical Interpretation with Representative Documents
and other documents that, in whole or in part, will be omitted
from the published collection. Each posting consists of an interpretive
introductory headnote followed by a transcription of the document.
The following sample documents are available at this time:
Betsey Stockton’s Journal (November 20,
1822–July 4, 1823)
“Where
Katy Lived, the Whole Aspect of the Neighborhood Was Changed”:
Lewis Tappan’s Obituary for Catherine Ferguson (1854)
African Americans and Billy Sunday in Atlanta (November–December 1917)
“Thank
God That He Is Not of This Great White Race . . .”:
