"The Character of 19-century Black Preachers"*

Professor of Rhetoric and Writing Studies,
San Diego State University

Christ United Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall

Join us for a presentation by Dr. Paul A. Minifee on the rhetoric and
activism of nineteenth-century African American preachers. Using Rev.
Jermain W. Loguen, and Jarena Lee as examples, Dr. Minifee focuses on
their "call," how each perceived the dual roles of preacher and
politician, and the "response," how each used his/her life to "walk the
talk." His work shows that their speeches, letters, and narratives were
not "empty rhetoric" but vital historical and religious texts.
Dr. Minifee holds a Ph.D. in Rhetoric and Writing from the University of
Texas at Austin. His teaching and research interests include the
rhetoric of abolitionists, slave narratives, spiritual autobiographies,
black church history, black preaching, homiletics, biblical
hermeneutics, black women's rhetoric, black manhood, blaxploitation
films, and therapeutic writing. Dr. Minifee also serves as the Faculty
in Residence at Zura Hall on campus.
There will be time for discussion and light refreshments will be served.
