Making Good the Claim Holiness and Visible Unity in the Church of God Reformation Movement by RufusBurrowJr., Gary B. Agee, Barry L. Callen Paperback, 312 Pages, Published 2016 by Pickwick Publications ISBN-13: 978-1-4982-3765-9, ISBN: 1-4982-3765-7
"The Church of God Reformation Movement (founded in 1881) has the distinction of having been founded on the two core principles of holiness and visible unity. Standard histories of the group proudly argue that the founder and pioneers exhibited a zeal for interracial unity that began to wane only in the early years of the twentieth century. This book rejects that claim and argues instead that little to no extant hard evidence supports th ..."

"In an era where people are often sorted into the categories of 'thinker' and 'doer', Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stands out - a rare mix of the deeply profound thinker and intellect who put the fruit of that reflection into the service of direct social action. In this helpful telling of King's life, Dr. Rufus Burrow knits together the story of King's family, his intellectual journey, and his experience of the pervasive racism of America ..."
"Clarence B. Jones, close King advisor and draft speechwriter, has done much to reinforce a conservative hijacking of King's image with the publication of his controversial books What Would Martin Say? (2008) and Behind the Dream (2011). King emerges from Jones's books not as a prophetic radical who attacked systemic racial injustice, economic exploitation, and wars of aggression, but as a fiercely conservative figure who would oppose af ..."

"The choice, Seay concludes, is ours, and the decision we make will inevitably
impact both the future of race relations and the nation's capacity to live out the
true meaning of her democratic creed. Here Seay takes on an issue that is
essentially ignored by Clarence B. Jones, namely, King symbolism and how it is
to be properly understood and interpreted in our culture. The contributors to this
volume approach King afresh, from thei ..."

precisely the type of situation that confronts vast numbers of young black males?
