Excerpt from What Is Happening to the Negro in the Protestant Episcopal Church?

The isolation of Negro and white Episcopalians from each other has a long history. According to Mays and Nicholson, The Negro' 3 Church, Negroes began to discover as early as 1779 a greater freedom m their own congregations than was open to them elsewhere. Prior to the emancipation of the slaves,left 1 708 Negro members in what became the first Negro Baptist Church in Richmond, Virginia. In 1844 and 1845 and 1861 the Methodist Episcopal Church, the Baptist Church, and the Presbyterian Church respectively, split into northern and southern bodies over the question of slavery. In 1870 the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church was formed out of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
