Descriere magazin:
A sweeping history of one of the nation\'s most important African American churches and a profound story of courage and grace amidst the fight for racial justice--from Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Kevin Sack nFew people beyond South Carolina\'s Lowcountry knew of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston--Mother Emanuel--before the night of June 17, 2015, when a twenty-one-year-old white supremacist walked into Bible study and slaughtered the church\'s charismatic pastor and eight other worshippers. Although the shooter had targeted the first A.M.E. church in the South in order to agitate racial strife, he did not anticipate the aftermath--an outpouring of forgiveness from the victims\' families and a reckoning with the divisions of caste that have afflicted Charleston and the South since the earliest days of European settlement. n nMother Emanuel explores the fascinating history that brought the church to that moment, and the depth of the desecration committed in its fellowship hall. It reveals how African Methodism cultivated from the harshest American soil, and how Black suffering shaped forgiveness into both a religious practice and a survival tool. Kevin Sack, who has written about race in his native South for more than four decades, uses the church to trace the long arc of Black life in the city where nearly half of enslaved Africans disembarked and where the Civil War began. Through the microcosm of one congregation, he explores the development of a unique practice of Christianity, from its daring breakaway from white churches in 1817, through the traumas of Civil War and Reconstruction, to its critical role in the Civil Rights Movement and beyond. We\'ll meet unsung heroes like Denmark Vesey, the former slave whose aborted rebellion plot led to his lynching and the destruction of the original church; Rev. Richard Harvey Cain, Emanuel\'s first pastor after the Civil War, who also won election to Congress during Reconstruction; Rev. Benjamin J. Glover, who served simultaneously as pastor and a crusading NAACP leader during the 1960s; and Reverend Clementa Pinckney, a respected state legislator, whose murder in 2015 inspired President Barack Obama\'s memorable Amazing Grace eulogy. n nAt its core, Mother Emanuel is an epic tale of perseverance, not just of a congregation, but of a people who withstood enslavement and Jim Crow and all manner of violence with an unbending faith.n
