Written by two eminent historians, Laborers in the Vineyard of the Lord examines the history of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in
Florida from the beginning of Reconstruction to the institution of Jim
Crow segregation, a period when the AME Church played a crucial role in
the religious, cultural, and political lives of black Floridians. The
book begins with an overview of slave religion and the first stirrings
of African Methodism before 1865 and culminates with the formidable
challenges that faced the church by 1895.
