"This book is an important account of a critical struggle for equity, inclusion and reparation of African Americans in a historic ethnic church in America and beyond. The Reformed (Dutch) Church in America (RCA) traces its origins back to 1628, making it one of the oldest Protestant churches in the United States. This book is an account of how this overwhelmingly ethnic denomination, when confronted by the Black Manifesto's 1969 demand for reparations over its historic role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade, and its support for the system of chattel slavery, reacted and struggled through the years"-- Provided by publisher.
