Free Indeed: African American Christians and the Struggle for Equality

by Various

Jesus Christ offers freedom liberally to all, regardless of skin color. But sometimes, those released from sin's bondage still had to strive for their freedom in society. Here are the stories of four African-Americans whose Christian faith led them to step out-and sometimes suffer-for their own James. W. C. Pennington, early abolitionist; Harriet Tubman, conductor on the Underground Railroad; Mary McLeod Bethune, the first black woman to establish a four-year college in the United States; and Rosa Parks, mother of the modern civil rights movement. In Free Indeed, you'll discover how these heroes brought hope to the people of their time-and ours.

About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

If i could have dinner and talk to one American lady... I would choose Harriet Tubman. The most interesting woman in the world.

This book was a good short easy read book and it got my attention right from the start.
The introduction was hard to read I thought reading through it the first time because it spoke very harshly of race relations and it is kind of difficult thing to hear.
I enjoyed the brief biographies of the four people it lists and have listed some of them as people I want to know more about because I should know more about them and their contributions.
I considered this short easy read book a learning tool to get me to want to know more about so interesting people that I may have never heard of before
I enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone.
