Excerpt from Centennial Encyclopaedia of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, 1816-1916: Containing Principally the Biographies of the Men and Women, Both Ministers and Laymen, Whose Labors During a Hundred Years, Helped Make the A. M. E. Church What It Is Complete history of the Negro in America, is unwritten and unwritable. Much that would be most interesting and valuable, went to the grave with those who had no possible means of transmitting it except by the uncertain and unreliable method of tradition. Much that comes down to us through the maze, either written or by tradition is, indeed, somber and sad. It becomes the historian of the present day to throw side lights upon the dark past, by exhibiting some of its better products, lest the skeptical continue to ask Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?
