Within this revised edition is an interesting story of a minority group that achieved success within American society throughout the past two centuries. Black Methodists have contributed much to the United States, the African American community, and the rest of the world via their various outreach programs and fights for freedom. By internalizing the tenets of Methodism created by the great John Wesley, Black Methodists have demonstrated organization, commitment, and leadership essential to liberty and progress. The author believes that had most African Americans chosen Methodism, they would have made faster and longer-lasting progress that would have insured their survival within American society.
