Royalty Unveiled: Women Trailblazers in Church of God in Christ International Missions 1920 -1970 is the first book of its kind to explore the work of international missionaries in the Church of God in Christ, the largest Pentecostal organization in America with churches in more than sixty countries. Its exponential growth in emerging countries can be traced to the work of brave women who left the United States beginning in the 1920s to board ships to Africa, Haiti, the Phillipines and around the world taking the message of Pentecost. Royalty Unveiled begins with an overview of American missions in the western United States and moves into Black participation in foreign missions and subsequently Pentecostal missions. Using personal interviews with women and men now in their 80s and 90s who recall their service for Christ provide details about their work in raw fields. The children, grandchildren, and caretakers weigh in along with former students, some who recall entering kindergarten at the age of 15. Mattie McCaulley journeyed to Trinidad and was the COGICs first international missionary. Elizabeth White arrived in Africa in the 1920s and initially affiliated with the Assembly of God before returning to Liberia in 1929-30 under the COGIC banner. Later Willie Curtis Ragland, Martha Barber, Beatrice Lott, Dorothy Exume, husband and wife team Charles and Betty Kennedy, Pearl Page Brown and others braved dangerous elements as they built schools, medical stations, rescued abandoned babies from the streets placing them in orphanages they constructed with the help of native Haitians or Africans. Photos of international missionaries, Mission Towns created around the compounds, documents and much more is included.

Panama City

By: Glenda A. Walters

More than 100 years ago, visionary men recognized the attractiveness and potential of this land along the shores of St. Andrews Bay. Previously known under such names like Park Resort, Floriopolis, and Harrison, Panama City was named such because a straight line between Chicago and the capital of the Central American country of Panama intersected the Florida town, and Panama City became the closest developed port on the mainland to the Caribbean entrance to the Panama Canal. Nothing would have been possible, however, without the hard work and investment of the town's founders. A local newspaper once reported that such men "saw that nature had dealt kindly with that section of the country and that with properly directed effort a great future awaited it." After more than 100 years, nature's kindness to those who reside on these shores is apparent. This volume pays tribute to Panama City by recognizing the places, events, and most importantly, the individuals who have inspired its success.

African American Theater

A Cultural Companion

By: Glenda Dicker/sun

Written in a clear, accessible, storytelling style, African American Theater will shine a bright new light on the culture which has historically nurtured and inspired Black Theater. Functioning as an interactive guide for students and teachers, African American Theater takes the reader on a journey to discover how social realities impacted the plays dramatists wrote and produced. The journey begins in 1850 when most African people were enslaved in America. Along the way, cultural milestones such as Reconstruction, the Harlem Renaissance and the Black Freedom Movement are explored. The journey concludes with a discussion of how the past still plays out in the works of contemporary playwrights like August Wilson and Suzan-Lori Parks. African American Theater moves unsung heroes like Robert Abbott and Jo Ann Gibson Robinson to the foreground, but does not neglect the race giants. For actors looking for material to perform, the book offers exercises to create new monologues and scenes. Rich with myths, history and first person accounts by ordinary people telling their extraordinary stories, African American Theater will entertain while it educates.
