Christian abolitionists have been around since the first slaves were taken to the New World, and also taken as slaves in the New World ie indigenous people. That is in the 16th century.
Then the next wave began by Christians in the American colonies.
Then there was an organized abolitionist movement by Christians prior to the Civil War.
Then Christian uplift programs which included African Americans in urban areas during the reformers at the turn of the century.
Then far later, and I am just posting bullet points, the 1950s with Christians and Jews involved directly and by donations for diverse things like facilitating the NAACP, the National Urban League, the Congress for Racial Equality, etc etc. These were full of Christians. There were special initiatives for voter drives and getting around poll taxes.
Have you actually taken a single class in African American Studies? Or a generalized diversity class??? Because you are ignoring like 300 years of civil rights history.
Who said Marcus Garvey was a leftist???
I was specifically discussing how and when the term "African-American" unfolded in the sixties, and you started a generalized black history inquiry.
If typos get you, then ignore my posts. No skin off my nose. I am typing furiously on a tablet with big hands and using Android software which the forum does not like. It hangs all the time..just locks up.
I find the disingenuous idea that blacks affect housing prices to be nonsense. That happened in the seventies. If it happens today, maybe in some squalid hillybilly town...but I scoff at that. There are African Americans living all around me, and always have been, and this is not my first house by any means. They do not affect the home sale prices whatsoever. That includes homes which professionals buy ie physicians and lawyers because golly we have African American professionals gasp. Oh Brother.
Some totally regressive wantonly racist moron will insist this is so on occasion, but I have never seen that to be true.
If some lazy person who happens to be black, does egregious things like puts a car up on cinder blocks, then yeah it could lower the prices. Most African Americans go out of their way to ensure the lawn is cut, carefully trimmed, avoiding leaving things in the yard like toys, because of concern about being judged by a different more rigorous standard.
For example, CORE started with the Fellowship of Reconcilliation, an interfaith organization that existed internationally and domestically.

The FOR USA claims to be the "largest, oldest interfaith peace and justice organization in the United States."
[3] Its programs and projects involve domestic as well as international issues, and generally emphasize nonviolent alternatives to conflict and the rights of conscience. Unlike the U.K. movements, it is an interfaith body, though its historic roots are in Christianity.
