Brooklyn's black churches have played a vital role in the borough since the early nineteenth century. Mr. Taylor quotes contemporary newspaper accounts of church events, using descriptions of concerts and lectures to illustrate nuances of class among various congregations... The Black Churches Of Brooklyn offers a fine overview of a too-long-neglected chapter in New York history.
