The Triumph of the Black Church: Civil Liberties Rev. Elijah L. Hill

The Concealed FBI Files in Washington, D. C., which revealed the Pre-Civil Rights of Bishop Charles Harrison Mason predates the Civil Rights Movement in America. Within this book, The Triumph of the Black Church, will be revealed Bishop Charles Harrison Mason's extraordinary life story. Mason, an African American religious leader in the 20th Century stood upon his First Amendment civil liberties of freedom of religion and freedom to assemble at the height of the Jim Crow system in America. Mason's Pentecostal message through the gospel of Jesus Christ Institutionalized a unique precedence in America by contradicting Plessy vs. Ferguson in 1896, which gave support to segregation and Jim Crow. The Seditious Act of 1918 violated and falsely imprisoned many religious groups in America during World War I of which Bishop Charles H. Mason's trial was at the forefront.
