Tonya Bolden, R. Gregory Gregory Christie

Rock of Ages: A Tribute to the Black Church

Hardcover (Knopf Books for Young Readers Dec. 26, 2001) , 1st edition
In her moving homage to the Black Church, Tonya Bolden has written a poem spanning centuries of oppression, freedom, prejudice, and joy. From times when slaves worshipped secretly in fields at night to the grand city churches of today, the Church has been there to help its community, inspire its congregants, and teach us what is possible when people join together.
