"Student Church Dedicates Service to Negro Heritage"
Subject
Student chapel service celebrates black culture
Description
This Bucknellian article from October 1951 shares how Bucknell's student church featured a candlelight service based on black spirituals, poems, and prose which "contribute to our religious heritage." The spiritual “Steal Away” was central, and the speakers relied most on the opinions of Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) and Paul Lawrence Dunbar (1872-1906) in accordance with the narrative that all people must strive to higher ambitions and paths through God.
