A Declaration by Priests Who Are Negroes
Description
In 1967 approximately half of the black Episcopal clergy, led by the Reverend Quintin Primo, rector of St. Matthew’s Church in Wilmington, Delaware, signed “A Declaration by Priests who are Negroes”. It was addressed to the white leadership of the Church and denounced the second-class treatment of the African American clergy.
