Mighty like a river: The Black Church and Social Reform
An expert in African American culture. Andrew Billingsley surveys nearly a thousand black churches across the country, including its oldest, the First African Baptist Church in Savannah, Georgia. These black churches, whose roots extend back to antebellum times, have periodically confronted social, economic, and political problems facing the African American community. Mighty Like a River addresses such questions as: How widespread and effective …
The Black Family in the 21st Century and the Church as an Action System: A Macro Perspective
The Black church has played a leadership function for African Americans during times of crisis such as slavery and the civil rights movement. This article suggests that the current crisis in the African American community is the disintegration of the African American family because of economic, social and value shifts, as well as misguided social policy. The Black church must again mount a spiritual and political campaign to save African American…

Growing up Black in Rural Mississippi: Memories of a Family, Heritage of a Place
Climbing Jacob's ladder: The enduring legacy of African-American families
Moving beyond the either/or argument about whether it is class or race that cripples or enhances the viability of family life, this book takes a broader perspective, showing that class, race, gender, and age are all critical dimensions of life that may be used to understand families better as well as to discriminate against them.

The Sociology of Knowledge of William J. Wilson: Placing The Truly Disadvantaged in its Sociohistorical Context
In this paper I will do the following: first, set forth an introductory statement designed to place Wilson's work in some philosophical-theoretical perspective; then, I will identify and describe what I consider to be three distinct, yet overlapping, phases or central themes in Wilson's work; third, I will discuss how he treats Black families and discuss some features of his policy recommendations

Beating Against the Barriers: Biographical Essays in Nineteenth Century Afro-American History
Building Strong Faculties in Black Colleges
In a recent visit that I made with the faculty of the School of Business and Management at State University, the Dean of the School began her orientation lecture with the observation that Morgan can never rise higher than its faculty. The expression carried considerable meaning not only for but for all higher education institutions, particularly the historically Black colleges. Today, the Black colleges are being faced with grave issues that chal…

Excerpt from the full-text article: The family is both a source of society and a product of society. As a source of society the family produces individuals, values and a set of behaviors we call socialization which helps to build institutions which constitute the fabric of the larger society. As a product of society the family is highly influenced, conditioned and to a great extent determined by the forces which emanate from the institutional fab…
Social Science and Social Welfare: Toward a Society for the Solution of Social Problems
Excerpt from the full-text article: Do existing social work texts contribute to a student's recognition of professional values and issues and of the implicit ideological bases for these? The following study contends that they do not, and that their failures are quite similar to those found by Mills in his examination social pathology texts. Our concern today with social science and social welfare policy is in keeping with the purposes and concept…
