The Cyclopedia Of The Colored Baptists Of Alabama: Their Leaders And Their Work is a historical book written by Charles Octavius Boothe, first published in 1895. The book provides a comprehensive account of the African American Baptist community in Alabama during the late 19th century. It covers the history of the Baptist church in Alabama, including the establishment of the first African American Baptist church in the state, and the contributions of prominent African American Baptist leaders. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a general history of the Baptist church in Alabama, including its origins, growth, and development. The second part focuses on the work of African American Baptist leaders in the state. It includes biographical sketches of prominent leaders, such as William H. McAlpine, J. H. DeWitty, and W. H. Sheppard, as well as descriptions of their work in the church and the wider community. Throughout the book, Boothe emphasizes the importance of education and self-improvement for African Americans, particularly in the context of the Baptist church. He also highlights the challenges faced by the African American community in Alabama, including racism, poverty, and political disenfranchisement. Overall, The Cyclopedia Of The Colored Baptists Of Alabama: Their Leaders And Their Work is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the African American Baptist community in Alabama, as well as the broader history of African Americans in the South during the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
