Description

Photograph of thirteen unidentified deacons of the First Colored Church, pictured in 1888. Six men are seated in the front row, and seven men stand behind them. These men were among the thousands of blacks to establish independent Baptist churches in the years following emancipation. These early churches grew to serve as spiritual, political, and creative centers of African American culture.
