Dr. Prathia Laura Ann Hall (1940-2002), a leader in the Civil Rights Movement whose story has not yet been told. Hall's 'freedom faith' was the belief that God created humans to be free and assists and equips those who work for freedom. Phrased more colloquially, Hall defined freedom faith as: 'This sense that I'm not a nigger, I'm not a gal, not a boy. I'm God's child. It may cost me my job, it may cost me my life, but I want to be free. So I'm going to go down to the courthouse, I'm going to sign my name. I'm going to trust God to take me there...and bring me back. That's freedom faith.' Freedom faith was the central concept of Hall's theology, and this study examines her life and philosophy, particularly through the lens of her civil rights activism, her teaching career, and her ministry as a womanist preacher. Moving through the course of her life, Freedom Faith focuses on her intellectual and theological development, and her radiating influence on such figures as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Alice Walker. Hall was one of the first women ordained in the American Baptist Association, was the pastor of Mt. Sharon Baptist Church in Philadelphia, and in later life joined the faculty at the Boston University School of Theology as the Martin Luther King Chair in Social Ethics. In all of these roles, Hall was a pioneer, fusing rigorous feminist thought with Christian ethics and visions of social justice"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a "I see Africa rising" -- "Living in the face of death" -- "In jail for a just cause" -- "Equality now" -- "Black, Baptist, preacher, woman" -- "I'm 56, but I should have been taller" -- "The living God is not a bigot" -- "The Baptist Church is going to have to deal with me" -- "One of the founding mothers of the new America." 600 10 $a Hall, Prathia LauraAnn. 600 10 $a Hall, Prathia LauraAnn $x Religion. 600 10 $a Hall, Prathia LauraAnn $x Political and social views. 600 17 $a Hall, Prathia LauraAnn. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00442270 650 0 $a African American civil rights workers $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American women civil rights workers $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American Baptists $v Biography. 650 0 $a Baptists $z United States $x Clergy $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American feminists $v Biography. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Civil rights movements $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a African American Baptists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00798965 650 7 $a African American civil rights workers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799093 650 7 $a African American feminists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01201928 650 7 $a African American women civil rights workers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799481 650 7 $a African Americans $x Civil rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799575 650 7 $a Baptists $x Clergy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00827290 650 7 $a Civil rights movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862708 650 7 $a Political and social views. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353986 650 7 $a Religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093763 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305043150.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AEB9A1D6B81211E9A4E5754297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
