- Title
All the Sons of Earth: Carlyle Marney and the Fight against Prejudice.
- Authors
Freeman, Curtis W.
- Abstract
The article discusses Baptist preacher Carlyle Marney's mid-20th-century crusade against prejudice, racism, and segregation in Southern U.S. society and religious life. The author explains Marney's belief that Southern Baptist churches should lead the fight against racism and segregation by desegregating themselves. Marney's involvement in the incorporation of African American Baptist churches into the Austin Baptist Association of Austin, Texas, is explained. His notion that the four social structures of materialism, provincialism, institutionalism, and individualism worked to uphold prejudice is detailed as well. Marney's work in opening membership in the Myers Park Baptist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, to African Americans is also discussed.
