Alexander Crummell

Back:

Alexander Crummell (1819-1898) was a minister, educator, and civil rights activist. From an early age, he was influenced by his abolitionist parents and even as a young boy worked for the American Anti-Slavery Society. Despite racial prejudice, he became an Episcopalian priest, traveling to England to lecture and further his education. Crummell developed the concept of Pan-Africanism and lived as a missionary in Liberia for 20 years. He believed African Americans should emigrate to Africa to spread the Gospel and unify the race. Black Americans, however, were not greatly in favor of this idea. Eventually, Crummell returned to Washington, D.C., where he and his congregation founded the first independent black Episcopal church in that city. During the last year of his life, he helped found the American Negro Academy.

Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel. Mark 16:15
