African-American Pastors and their Effect on the Civil Rights Movement in the United States

<p> The civil rights movement could have been easily called the civil rights ministry due to its principle leader, the African-American pastor. It was a movement based on the precepts and tenets of the ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. The African-American culture and church are quite often indivisible; this is primarily due to their formation. The leader of the African-American church and culture is often the pastor; they played a principle role in setting the tone and direction of the American civil rights movement. This thesis will show how the African-American pastor's role has been central to the community and how that role has been fluid and adaptive to respond to the adversity and changes within the community and culture.</p> / Thesis / Master of Theological Studies (MTS)
