African-American Christians

Audience: Youth Individuals Adult Format: Web

Over the past hundred and more years, incredible changes have occurred in American society that have generally improved the lives and increased the options for African Americans.

Many of those changes came about as a result of actions by brave and courageous leaders. They were teachers, inventors, preachers, writers and business people. Some made their mark and contribution long before the Civil Rights movement. Others were born after all the laws were passed but helped to smooth out the long road to equality.

We celebrate the story of African American Heritage in part by highlighting the journey of these courageous Christians and we reflect on the relationships between American Bible Society and African Americans. Click on the links below to read more about these individuals and groups.

Thanks to the support of our faithful financial partners, American Bible Society has been engaging people with the life-changing message of God’s Word for nearly 200 years.

Help us share God's Word where needed most.
