Beschreibung

Quarto, [24]pp., illustrated. A very good copy in the publisher's stapled printed wraps. Old flattened vertical crease throughout, some dust-soiling to wraps, and a few faint marginal creases. A nicely illustrated program for a convention of African-American church ushers. Though not identified as a regional conference, most of the groups of attendees pictured or referenced in the booklet are from Youngstown, Cleveland, Mansfield, and Wooster; that is to say, the Northeast Ohio region. Filled with local advertisements from Wooster, many of these for Black-owned businesses. A number of individual portraits of organization leadership, as well as group photographs of various church ushers are within. While the position of "usher" is common to most Christian denominations (and has analogues in many other faiths), it has a particularly important role in many Black churches as a position of honor, responsibility, and service.
