Incidents of hope for the Negro race in America : a Thanksgiving sermon, November 26th, 1895

Crummell, pastor of St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Washingtion, D.C., from 1879 to 1898, spoke out for black liberation and founded the Negro Academy. He gives several reasons for optimism about the future of African Americans in the U.S., despite despondency in some quarters: the increase in the black population, intellectual efforts even in slavery, the growth of religion among African Americans, heroism in war, etc.
