About this ebook

As a distinguished pastor,
educator, and public servant, Samuel DeWitt Proctor made it his mission to
serve American life by fighting racism. In The
Imposing Preacher,
Adam Bond shows how Proctor, as the product of a
prophetic black church tradition, a social gospel-laced liberal Protestantism,
and a black middle-class integrationist ethos, envisioned a pulpit activism
through which the United States could realize an integrated civil society and
was able to anticipate themes articulated by black religious movements of the
late twentieth century. Proctor presents an alternative model of religious and
social leadership and for studies of African American religion.
