Question

How did churches lay the foundation of the development of african american leaders ?

Answer 1

The churches lay the foundation of the development of the African-American leaders through serving as the center of all community activities especially organizing for education. The church leaders during the African-American period were usually also strong community leaders. Independent black churches have fully grown and they showed as an air of militancy in the eyes of white Americans. They have established itself as the greatest source for African American religious enrichment and secular development.
