The Presbyterian Historical Society in Philadelphia is a historical treasure of information. From books and papers, to films, pictures, and other documents, staff use their talents to share the stories with congregations across the denomination. In this week’s OGA In Focus, Sonia Prescott, reference and outreach archivist, talks about how she uses her love for history to minister to people about the past.
The Rev. Jimmie Hawkins recently sat down with Sonia Prescott with the Presbyterian Historical Society on an installment of PHS LIVE, an ongoing webinar series, to discuss his newly published book, “Unbroken and Unbowed: A History of Black Protest in America.” It was published by Westminster John Knox Press and released on Feb. 22.
The Rev. Dr. Charles Lattimore Howard was two-thirds of the way through the Presbyterian Historical Society’s webinar on Black theology and mass movements when he got a question that took him back to graduate school.
