Philip Randolph -- Expanding the boundaries of politics : the various voices of the Black religious community of Brooklyn, New York before and during the Cold War -- The Pentecostal preacher as public intellectual and activist : the extraordinary leadership of Bishop Smallwood Williams -- The Reverend John Culmer and the politics of Black representation in Miami, Florida -- The Reverend Theodore Gibson and the significance of Cold War liberalism in the fight for citizenship -- "A natural born leader" : the politics of the Rev. Al Sharpton -- The evolving spiritual and political leadership of Louis Farrakhan : from Allah's masculine warrior to ecumenical sage -- Ella Baker, Pauli Murray, and the challenge to male patriarchy.Clarence Taylor shows how black leaders were able to carve out a space for religion as part of a progressive political agenda and reveals the complex and innovative ways that black religious notions were continually reconstructed to accommodate the communities they served.Professor Clarence Taylor sheds some much-needed light on the rich intellectual and political tradition that lies in the black religious community. From the Pentecostalism of Bishop Smallwood Williams and the flamboyant leadership of the Reverend Al Sharpton, to the radical Presbyterianism of Milton Arthur Galamison and the controversial and mass-mobilization by Minister Louis Farrakhan, black religious leaders have figured prominently in the struggle for social equality in America.
