Reverdy Cassius Ransom worked with and for the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME). His duties saw him run for Congress, be elected bishop of the AME Church, and serve as editor of the AME Church Review and as church historiographer. This examination of Ransom's dedication to his work in the church and in civil rights is a valuable contribution to African American social history.
