DID YOU KNOW? "In 1891 Ellen White delivered a historic presentation entitled "Our Duty to the Colored People." This watershed message to the General Conference session in Battle Creek was the first major appeal to the SDA Church on behalf of developing a systematic work for Black people in the South. Her words were instrumental in influencing her son James Edson White to dedicate his efforts to the work among Black people in the South. (Delbert W. Baker)
