Read the excerpt from AME Church Bishop Daniel Payne writing in the mid-nineteenth century:
"No church can be permanently prosperous and influential, which does not possess an educated ministry... To make our Church what it ought to be, we must have schools of our own, controlled by our own bishops and educators, where our youth can be trained under our own influence."
Which of the following historical developments best reflects the goal expressed in the excerpt?
- AThe immediate integration of white public universities in the South during the late nineteenth century
- The establishment of private historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) managed by independent Black denominationsCevap
- CThe confinement of Black religious organizations to strictly spiritual and theological services
- DThe unanimous adoption of vocational and agricultural training as the only valid pathway for Black education
Cevap
The establishment of private historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) managed by independent Black denominations
The correct answer is correct because AME Church leaders, including Bishop Daniel Payne, active since the antebellum era and throughout Reconstruction, pushed for self-determination in Black education. This led directly to Black denominations founding, purchasing, and administering early private HBCUs (such as Wilberforce University and Morris Brown College) to train teachers, ministers, and leaders free from white control.
