It will surprise no one to see that we're kicking off Black History Month by talking about Francis Grimke. Francis was a pastor in Washington, DC in the early 1900s. He was a former slave who lived an extraordinary life. His work inspired Isaac to start this ministry, so we feel a special connection to his life and work.

The first Anti-Slavery Convention of American Women met in New York City in May, 1837. Members at the Convention came from all walks of life and included such prominent women as Mary Parker, Lucretia Mott, the Grimke sisters, and Lydia Maria Child. One outcome of this important event was a statement of the organization's role in the abolitionist movement as expressed in AN ADDRESS TO FREE COLORED AMERICANS, which begins: “The sympathy we feel for our oppressed fellow-citizens who are enslaved in these United States, has called us together, to devise by mutual conference the best means for bringing our guilty country to a sense of her transgressions; and to implore the God of the oppressed to guide and bless our labors on behalf of our "countrymen in chains." This significant event was a precursor to the growing women's rights movement of the time and to greater female involvement in other political reform movements. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/librivox1/support

by Scotty T Reid, BTRN Archibald Grimké was a remarkable individual who played a pivotal role in the fight against slavery and racism in the United States during his lifetime. As one of the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Grimké's contributions to the civil rights movement are still celebrated today. This essay explores Grimké's early life and upbringing, his activism against slavery, and his enduring contributions to the fight against racism. Archibald Henry Grimké was born a victim of slavery on August 17, 1849, on his white father's plantation near Charleston, South Carolina. His mother, Nancy Weston, was also enslaved by his father and had been born a victim of slavery herself. Despite being born into a system that sought to oppress and dehumanize him, Grimké's early life was marked by a strong desire for knowledge and freedom. He was fortunate enough to receive an education from his father the slaver, who recognized the importance of education in empowering his enslaved son, which was not normal for slavers to do in the American South. Grimké's thirst for knowledge led him to pursue higher education at Lincoln University, where he excelled academically and developed a deep understanding of the injustices faced by African Americans in the United States. Drawing inspiration from his aunt, Angelina Grimké, a white woman and outspoken slavery abolitionist, Archibald Grimké became deeply committed to the fight against slavery. Angelina Grimké's essay, "An Appeal to the Christian Women of the South," greatly influenced Archibald's beliefs and catalyzed his anti-slavery activism. He dedicated his life to advocating for the abolition of slavery and the equality of all individuals, regardless of race. As an African American lawyer, intellectual, journalist, diplomat, and community leader, Grimké used his platform to shed light on the atrocities of slavery and to call for its immediate abolition. His powerful speeches and writings resonated with many, inspiring others to join the fight against slavery and racism. Archibald Grimké's contributions to the fight against racism extended far beyond his activism against slavery. As one of the founders of the NAACP, he played a crucial role in advocating for the rights and equality of African Americans. In 1909, Archibald Grimke became a founding member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In 1923, he would be elected president of the Washington, D.C. NAACP chapter and also became a member of the organization's national board of directors. Grimke also won the Spingarn Medal in 1919, the highest honor given by the NAACP. Grimké recognized the importance of working towards systemic change and was instrumental in shaping the organization's strategies and goals. He believed in the power of education and fought for equal access to education for all African American children. Grimké's tireless efforts also included highlighting racial discrimination against African Americans in the military during World War I and working towards its eradication. His steadfast commitment to justice and equality paved the way for future generations of civil rights activists. Archibald Grimké was a trailblazer in the fight against slavery and racism in the United States and died in Washington, D.C. on February 25, 1930, at the age of 80 years old.

Sarah and Angelina Grimke were unapologetically anti-slavery and pro-women's rights. Their convictions were driven by their faith in God, yet it got them booted from Quakerism, made their name a curse among their Southern peers, and even caused controversy among fellow abolitionists. The Grimke sisters made history, yet their names have largely been forgotten. Today, we introduce you to these unlikely abolitionists.Find more information about our guests, more information on the Grimke sisters and a transcript with discussion questions on our episode page.Give us a call and tell us what "conscientious objector" means to you: 215-278-9411.

Plus, author Kerri K. Greenidge joins to discuss the checkered legacy of the Grimke sisters, the famous abolitionists who have a Boston bridge named after them.

We examine the legacy of Sarah and Angelina Grimke through the eyes of their enslaved family members. That legacy is the subject of a new book called "The Grimkes: The Legacy of Slavery in an American Family." Author Kerri Greenidge joins us to talk about it.

Join us when Kerri Greenidge a Mellon Assistant Professor in the Department of Studies in Race, Colonialism, and Diaspora at Tufts University shares a stunning counternarrative of the legendary abolitionist Grimke sisters that finally reclaims the forgotten Black members of their family. A landmark biography of the most important multiracial American family of the nineteenth century, The Grimkes suggests that just as the Hemingses and Jeffersons personified the racial myths of the founding generation, the Grimkes embodied the legacy—both traumatic and generative—of those myths, which reverberate to this day.

A New York Times Critics Top Books of 2019, it won the 2020 Mark Lynton History Prize. Greenidge is a professor at Tufts University, where she is co-director of the African American Trail Project and the interim director of the American Studies program. Formerly a teacher at Boston University and the University of Massachusetts, she has conducted historical research for PBS, the Wiley-Blackwell Anthology of African American Literature, and the Oxford African American Studies Center. In her latest book, she offers a revealing counternarrative to the story of the famed abolitionist Grimke sisters that accounts for their long-ignored Black relatives. (recorded 11/16/2022)

Sarah and Angelina Grimke were among the first women to speak out in public in opposition to slavery. They were condemned for speaking out in public to andquot;promiscuousandquot; audiences; that is, audiences composed of both men and women. This prompted them to speak out more forcefully for equal rights for women. They lived long enough to see slavery abolished and the right of African American men to vote recognized, but universal women's suffrage would not be achieved until 1920, although Jim Crow laws would make it difficult or impossible for African Americans vote until the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

This overseer, a Mr. Plummer, was, like most of his class, little less than a human brute, and, in addition to his general profligacy and repulsive coarseness, he was a miserable drunkard, a man not fit to have the management of a drove of mules. In one of his moments of drunken madness he committed the outrage which brought the young woman in question down to my old master's for protection.... Her neck and shoulders were covered with scars, newly made, and, not content with marring her neck and shoulders with a cowhide, the cowardly wretch had dealt her a blow on the head with a hickory club, which cut a horrible gash, and left her face literally covered with blood. 48) – 07:29Ibid., pp. 48–49. 49) – 08:23Ibid., p. 52 50) – 09:01Wertheimer, op. cit., pp. 113–114.

Barnaby Grigby was a twenty-six year old mulatto; his wife, Elizabeth, who had had a different owner than her husband, was twenty-four years old. Her sister, Ann Wood, was engaged to the leader of the group, Frank Wanzer. Ann was twenty-two, good-looking and smart. Frank was trying to escape from a particularly bad master. There were two more young men in the group.” Lerner, op. cit., p. 57. 51) – 09:21Sarah M. Grimke's testimony in Theodore D.

One of these was a slave woman who had taught a midnight school for a year. It was opened at eleven or twelve o'clock at night, and closed at two o'clock a.m.... Milla Granson, the teacher, learned to read and write from the children of her indulgent master in her old Kentucky home. Her number of scholars was twelve at a time, and when she had taught these to read and write she dismissed them, and again took her apostolic number and brought them up to the extent of her ability, until she had graduated hundreds.

Francis Grimke turned down a university presidency to continue pastoring. He helped found the NAACP. And he had some prescient words for white churches in his day and in our own. His message was exceedingly simple – (1) preach, believe, love, share, and treasure the gospel; and (2) obey it with all of your might. Grimke's understanding of the church's role in broken hearts and a broken society has much to teach us today.

She did say that a lot! But what you might not know is that Justice Ginsburg was in fact quoting 19th Century Abolitionist and Women's Rights Advocate, Sarah Grimke. Today we will be reading the document that contains that quote: a series of letters from Sarah Grimke to fellow Abolitionist Mary S. Parker, in 1838. These letters were later published under the title Letters on the Equality of the Sexes and the Condition of Woman, and this book is known as the first sustained argument for equal rights written by a woman in the United States. Grimke has become a hero of mine during the past several years, and this particular text may be especially inspiring to listeners who are committed to holding onto their faith despite their struggles with patriarchal practices. I know some of our episodes so far might have been hard for religious listeners to metabolize - they have been hard for me! Grimke was a devoted Christian throughout her life, so this episode may give Christian women and men some encouraging new ways of viewing scripture. (and it will still be fascinating for non-religious listeners as well!) But before we start, I want to welcome my reading partner, Rebecca Archibald. Hi, Becca! Becca: Hi, Amy! Amy:  Becca and I met in 2005 when our husbands were working on their MBAs at Stanford at the same time. We were neighbors on campus and we both had two little girls at the time, and we had similar interests, and as soon as I met you, Becca, I knew you were going to be an important person in my life with important things to teach me. And that was true - there are many nuggets of wisdom that I use in my life as a mother and as a thinker that will come to my mind and I'll think “Becca taught me that.” I'm so grateful we've stayed in touch over the course of many years and many moves to various places, and so thankful that you're joining me today to talk about this book! Becca: Happy to be here, etc…. :) Amy: So I always ask my reading partners to introduce themselves so listeners can get an idea of background and the perspective that each guest will bring to the discussion. Can  you tell us a little about yourself? Becca: I grew up in Utah, the oldest girl of 6 kids.  Both my parents kind of made me feel like I could do anything, including move to Boston and go to Harvard for graduate school.  I started dating my husband just after I'd  been accepted.  I didn't know if I should go or stay in Utah where he was---my dad said go, and my mom said stay. I did go, and my husband came to Boston too.   Since, we've been lucky to live in many places around the country--New York, Connecticut, Cleveland, Northern Ca and now San Diego.  In some of these places I've taught high school English, and in all of these places I've read.  You'd think both experiences would come in handy being at home with 5 kids in online school but let's just say--we all miss real school.  I have loved the extra time for family adventures.  Amy: And then the other thing I'd like you to tell listeners is what interested you in this project. Becca: What interested me was a scheduled conversation with Amy.  When we both lived in Northern California, we'd run together in the beautiful wooded hills before anyone else was awake and discuss potty training, racial injustice, recipes--basically solve the problems of the world as we ran.  I miss that! Of course this is such a compelling topic as well.  I read Sue Monk Kidd's The Invention of Wings a few years ago which is a historical novel about Sarah and Angelina Grimke.  The minute I finished...

Today's episode is focused on one of the most prominent black American ministers of the post-civil war era, Francis Grimke. Grimke was born a slave but rose to be a well respected champion of integrity and Christian ideals even in the face of racial discrimination and prejudice.RESOURCES The Christian History Institute: https://christianhistoryinstitute.org/it-happened-today/7/7 The Gospel Coalition: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/francis-grimke/ The Gospel Coalition: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/20-quotes-francis-grimke-preaching/ The Works of Francis Grimke, Vol 1: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/590be125ff7c502a07752a5b/t/5953221ff7e0ab471416461b/1498620486248/Grimke%2C+Francis+-+Works%2C+Volume+1.pdf Intro Music: Country Strumstick Mountain Hop, by Andy Slater

Francis Grimke was a pastor in Washington D.C. from 1878-1928, ministering most prominently at the 15th Street Presbyterian Church. In 1918, the Spanish flu swept through cities in the United States. Thousands died. Public gatherings were closed for weeks. This is a sermon that Grimke preached when he returned to his pulpit when the disease […]

Deliver Us for Thine Honour Isaiah 1:10-20 by William Klock It’s not easy to know what to think of the events that are taking place around us right now.  There’s no shortage of people in the media writing about it.  And there’s even less shortage of people sharing their thoughts—which are often less than thoughtful—on social media.  It’s unavoidable, but I’ve been trying to avoid it anyway—and probably not succeeding very well.  But what I’ve found remarkably grounding in the midst of all this is our daily praying of the Litany.  Prayer itself is an acknowledgement of God’s sovereignty, but the Litany in particular, it’s deprecations and suffrages, are all rooted in and express a firm belief in the fact that God is in control no matter what and that, by the mercies of Jesus, we can run to him for help.  And it’s not just whistling in the dark.  The Litany—and other prayers like it—remind us that we are appealing to the God who, for our sake, humbled himself to share our form and to die on the cross.  This is the grounding we need in troubled times.  That God is sovereign, not as some distant governor of the cosmos, but as the one who knows our suffering, cares deeply about our welfare, and who truly walks beside us.  Think about it.  We not only have Jesus himself, God Incarnate, sharing our nature, but he’s given us his own Spirit.  In Greek the Holy Spirit is often referred to as parakletos—the helper who comes alongside us. In the Litany we pray:  By the mystery of thy holy Incarnation; by thy holy Nativity and Circumcision; by thy Baptism, Fasting, and Temptation…By thing Agony and Bloody Sweat; by thy Cross and Passion; by thy precious Death and Burial; by thy glorious Resurrection and Ascension; and by the Coming of the Holy Ghost, Good Lord, deliver us.  That litany of the life and ministry of Jesus—all of it—is the ground on which we appeal to him for deliverance, remembering his loving and merciful grace. But something really jumped out at me as we were praying the Litany a few nights ago.  It’s probably because I hit on this point in last week’s sermon and because this has been a point that Exodus has reminded us of as we’ve looked at the Lord’s calling of Israel to be his people.  What jumped out at me was that prayer in the final suffrages: “O God, we have heard with our ears, and our fathers have declared unto us, the noble works that thou didst in their days, and in the old time before them.”  And the response is, “O Lord, arise, help us, and deliver us for thine honour.”  It calls back to the promises of God.  We’re heard them, our forefathers in the faith have handed them down to us, and they are now the basis for our appeal to the Lord for deliverance.  We don’t talk much about honour anymore in our culture, but the idea here is that the Lord brings honour on himself, not only amongst his own people, but before the witnessing people of the world, when he makes good on his promises. I touched on this last Sunday as we looked at our Old Testament lesson from Ezekiel.  Israel had been defeated by Babylon, Jerusalem and the temple destroyed, and the people carried off into exile.  There they were, the people to whom the Lord had promised: I will be your God and you will be my people.  They lived in the land he had promised them.  His presence was manifest in a cloud of glory in the temple.  And suddenly everything he’d promised to them had been taken away.  What happened?  Had the Lord stopped being faithful?  Because they knew the Lord, that wasn’t a conclusion they could make.  They knew he was sovereign.  That was a non-negotiable, too.  And so the Lord spoke to them through the prophets.  They were the people called to bring honour to his name, but they’d failed to do so.  And he reminded them that there were two sides to his covenant with them: If his people would honour him, he would bless them.  But—and this was the bit they chose to ignore—if his people dishonoured him, he would curse them—he would discipline them, that the watching nations would know him and know his faithfulness. Think of it in terms of parents and children.  A good father blesses his children when they do what’s right.  But when a father continues to bless his children when they misbehave, he dishonours himself.  People watching chalk him up as a fool and as a bad parent.  You don’t reward children for doing wrong.  No, a good father disciplines his children when they misbehave.  And so the Lord disciplined his people, removing them from the land he’d promised and taking away his presence from them. In our Old Testament lesson today, from Isaiah 1, the Lord addresses Israel again, to explain why they were defeated and exiled.  Look at verse 10: Hear the word of the Lord,          you rulers of Sodom! Give ear to the teaching of our God,          you people of Gomorrah!   This is way beyond your mother angrily calling you and using your full name.  The Lord speaks to Israel, but he addresses his people as Sodom and Gomorrah.  They’ve been that bad.  They were a holy people, but their life together had be become so unholy that the Lord addresses them with the names of the cities he destroyed in the days of Abraham, with names synonymous with idolatry and sin.  But what has Israel done?  Look at verse 11: “What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices?          says the Lord; I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams          and the fat of well-fed beasts; I do not delight in the blood of bulls,          or of lambs, or of goats.   The Lord is through with Israel’s sacrifices.  But what happened?  These are the sacrifices that the Lord instructed his people to make.  Well, the issue isn’t the sacrifices themselves.  The problem lies in the hearts of the people. “When you come to appear before me,          who has required of you          this trampling of my courts? Bring no more vain offerings;          incense is an abomination to me. New moon and Sabbath and the calling of convocations—          I cannot endure iniquity and solemn assembly. Your new moons and your appointed feasts          my soul hates; they have become a burden to me;          I am weary of bearing them. When you spread out your hands,          I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers,          I will not listen;          your hands are full of blood. Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean;          remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice,          correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless,          plead the widow’s cause. (Isaiah 1:12-17) The worship of the Lord is a good thing, but it becomes an abomination to the Lord when his people’s hearts are impure.  Israel payed lip-service to the Lord.  They did the easy part of the torah.  They made their sacrifices—they went through the motions of worship—but they worshiped false gods alongside the Lord, they broke his commandments, they abused orphans and widows.  Israel was supposed to be a place where the Lord’s rule was on display before the nations.  It was to be sort of a microcosm of the world set to rights—or at least a foreshadowing of that future hope.  But Israel did just the opposite.  Instead of the nations seeing Israel and praising the Lord for what they saw, they mocked both Israel and the Lord.  Israel brought dishonour on the name of the Lord. Brothers and Sisters, are we guilty of the same?  A couple of weeks ago, a friend who pastors in Washington, D. C. began writing about how the Church might respond to a government-ordered shutdown.  He was ahead of the curve on that one.  He knew that in October of 1918, during the Spanish Flu epidemic, the churches of Washington were closed for a month by government order and so he went back to look at what the pastors of a century ago had to say about the situation.  He’s been sharing with many of us what he’s found.  One sermon stands out in particular, preached by Francis Grimke, the pastor of Fifteenth Presbyterian Church.  Grimke was someone who understood the sovereignty of God.  He also understood the goodness, faithfulness, and mercy of God.  He said this in a sermon preached in November 1918, on the Sunday the churches were allowed to reopen: “I…know that large numbers of people have regretted the closing of the churches.  I hope that now that they are opened again, that we will all show our appreciation of their value by attending regularly upon their services.  It would be a great calamity to any community to be without the pubic ministration of the sanctuary.  There is no single influence in a community that counts for more than the Christian church.  It is one of the institutions, particularly, that ought to be strongly supported; that ought to be largely attended, and that ought to have the hearty endorsement and well-wishes of every right thinking man and woman within it.  It is a great mistake for anyone to stand aloof from the Christian church.  Everybody in the community ought to have a church home, and ought to be found in that church home Sabbath after Sabbath.”[1] Based on what the preachers of Washington were writing and preaching at the time, the end of the Spanish Flu epidemic brought a renewed appreciation for the Church and, especially, for its public gatherings of corporate worship. What I’m seeing today in our community seems to be the very opposite.  Last Sunday I saw a post in a local community group on Facebook in which someone lamented the fact that churches are closed while cannabis stores are open.  The post garnered several hundred comments in just twenty-four hours and they were discouraging to read through.  One or two were supportive of the original comment, but the hundreds of others were mostly foul and offensive—and mostly blasphemous—rants against Christianity and the Church.  The really troubling thing about many of these “critiques”—if I can call them that—is that there was some truth to them. Brothers and Sisters, there will always be people who stand opposed to Jesus and his Church no matter what we do.  But the mission of the Church is to proclaim the good news that Jesus is Lord and to live out our lives in full allegiance to him so that we bring honour to his name.  It’s not hard to see that we’ve been guilty, instead, of too often shaming the name of Jesus.  Jesus promised that we would be persecuted for the sake of his name, but we are, I think, more often not persecuted for the sake of his name or for standing up for his word, but mocked because we’re hypocrites, mocked because we’re jerks, and mocked because of our compromises.  We name Jesus, but we do shady business.  We name Jesus, but we treat people poorly.  We name Jesus, but we trust instead in money and politics.  And sometimes the people out there see it better than we do. Friends, God is not mocked.  He will not allow his people to bring dishonour on his name forever.  The Church is the means he has chosen to spread the gospel.  The Church is the means he has chosen to bring honour to his name.  And if we do the opposite, as he did with Israel, he will discipline us to get our attention and to get us back on track.  As I said last week, I cannot but think that his warning and chastening hand is at work in the shuttering of churches across North America.  It could be worse.  What we’re experiencing is only temporary, although I think there will be some long-term ramifications.  But if we do not heed the Lord’s warning, worse could happen to us.  And yet, as I look around, I think most of us are trying to carry on, as best we can, as if it’s business as usual. I rarely break from the lectionary or a book study to address current events in my preaching, but even I am stunned.  I listened to dozens of sermons this past week and almost no one I listened to addresses these issues.  Most carried on with whatever they were preaching before.  I watched service recordings of pastors that are typically enthusiastic and happy-clappy and they didn’t miss a beat, despite performing with their bands to empty churches, just as happy-clappy as ever.  It calls to mind Israel in the Second Temple period, after the people returned from their exile in Babylon.  They rebuilt Jerusalem and they rebuilt the temple.  They carried on with their sacrifices and offerings.  But the ark—the Lord’s throne—was gone.  The holy of holies was empty.  But they carried on anyway.  The high priest would enter with the blood on the Day of Atonement and sprinkle the blood where the ark had once been.  But at least the Jews of those days, as much as they carried on with what their forefathers had done, knew that something was horribly wrong.  They grieved the fact that the Lord’s presence had left them.  And many of them fasted and prayed, longing for the Lord’s return. I’m not, these days, seeing that sort of grieving over the situation we now find ourselves in .  I sat in a clergy meeting on Friday and none of this was discussed.  Instead, the closure of churches is being treated as a technical hurdle.  Pastors and vestries are looking for ways to keep thing as much like business as usual as possible.  I’ve had countless articles come my way and their emphasis is pretty much on two things: How do we keep people’s attention when they can’t come to church and how do we keep their money flowing in.  It’s not that those things aren’t important in their own ways, but no one seems to be asking, “Is the Lord trying to get our attention?” There’s a prayer in the liturgy for the Visitation of the Sick in the Prayer Book that, I think, sums up how we should be approaching these days we’re in.  It goes like this: “Hear us, Almighty and most merciful God and Saviour; extend they accustomed goodness to this thy servant who is grieved with sickness.  Sanctify, we beseech thee, this they fatherly correction to him; that the sense of his weakness may add strength to his faith, and seriousness to his repentance: That, if it shall be thy good pleasure to restore him to his former health, he may lead the residue of his life in thy fear, and to thy glory…through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Grimke closed his sermon with these words: “It is a good time for those of us who are Christians to examine ourselves to see exactly how it is with us, whether the foundation upon which we are building is a rock foundation—whether our faith is really resting upon Christ, the solid Rock, or not.  And I still feel that one important function of this epidemic will be lost if it fails to have that effect upon us, if it does not lead to careful heart-searching on our part.”[2] Brothers and Sisters, we need to search our hearts.  We need to ask if we are bringing honour to the name of Jesus, or if because of our sins or half-hearted allegiance to him, we cause his name and that of his Church to be mocked by the world around us.  The Lord will not let us go on forever with half-hearted faithfulness. But Isaiah reminds us that there is good news for the repentant.  Look at verses 18-20: “Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet,          they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson,          they shall become like wool. If you are willing and obedient,          you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel,          you shall be eaten by the sword;          for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”   Brothers and Sisters, we live on the other side of the promises of Isaiah.  In the Messiah Jesus, the Lord has returned to his people.  By the mystery of his holy Incarnation; by his holy Nativity and Circumcision; by his Baptism, Fasting, and Temptation…By his Agony and Bloody Sweat; by his Cross and Passion; by his precious Death and Burial; by his glorious Resurrection and Ascension; and by the Coming of the Holy Ghost he has washed our crimson sins away and made us white as snow.  And yet, as the people who have God in our midst, not in a tent, but by the Spirit and in our very selves, it is, I think, an even more grievous thing for us rebel against the Lord than it was for Israel.  I pray that we would take seriously our Lord’s “fatherly correction”.  I pray that, knowing the Lord’s promises, we would be moved to repentance and that our faith would be strengthened—that we would let go of everything else and give to Jesus our full and whole-hearted allegiance.  I pray that with the rest our live we would devote ourselves to the gospel work of bringing honour to the name of the Lord. Let us pray: O God, we have heard with our ears, and our fathers have declared unto us, the noble works that thou didst in their days, and in the old time before them.  O Lord, arise, help us, and deliver us for thine honour.  Amen.

The African American Folklorist Podcast Series - Charlotte Forten Grimke - The First series of the African American Folklorist will be covering the works, journals, and lineage of Charlotte Forten Grimke. Documented as the first person to record Black Spirituals on her excursion to Sea Island in 1864, Charlotte, a teacher, anti-slavery activist, and poet comes from four generations of successful, free abolitionists African Americans. The series will raise awareness and discuss the people and experiences she's had during a turbulent time in America for Black people that shaped her views and propelled her to achieve many feats. Not taking away from her story, we delve into the achievements and mindset of her elder relatives that not only molded Charlotte but formulated the way free blacks and abolitionists attacked slavery with ferocity. From funding abolitionist publications to being major participants in the Underground Railroad system, The Forten family and their in-laws were trailblazers in the contributions to African American history, liberation and freedom. From what can be considered the home base of abolition, Philadelphia. This is the description of the pilot episode. This episode, Episode one, focus on the beginning of Charlotte's legacy, and the places and experiences that lead her grandfather, James Forten, to begin work and plant a seed that would harvest in Charlotte and the rest of the Forten family, and extended family.

Charlotte was born wealthy and free, but even in Philadelphia, PA that wasn't enough for her to be able to attend public schools. Home schooled, she taught herself four languages and read over 100 books by the time she was 16. She went on to conquer many firsts, including being the first African American to teach white students. 

In the annals of abolitionist history, names like William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, the Grimke sisters, and Harriet Tubman are well known. Dr. Marcus Rediker‘s new book, The Fearless Benjamin Lay: The Quaker Dwarf Who Became The First Revolutionary Abolitionist (Beacon Press, 2017) adds an important abolitionist to this group of revolutionaries. Benjamin Lay lived and proclaimed a life dedicated to the immediate abolition of slavery over a century before many of the women and men aforementioned were either born or first proclaimed abolition as their chosen lifework. Many characteristics described Benjamin Lay: Quaker, dwarf, vegetarian, cave-dweller, sailor, farmer, or anti-capitalist; all of them informed his personal interpretation of militant and revolutionary abolitionism.

In March 1870, forty-two women marched into their polling place in Hyde Park and illegally cast ballots in the local election. They were led by local residents and radical activists Sarah and Angelina Grimké. The Grimké sisters were born into a slave owning family in South Carolina, but then spent their lives fighting for abolition, suffrage, and equal rights. Listen to their remarkable story!
