Adam Clayton Powell Jr. - Keep The Faith, Baby (1967)

[@charlesmicheaux4121]

I came into the ministry because of this man, this great noble warrior--Adam Clayton Powell Jr. A man like him comes along every 100 years.

[@jsmith3980]

nice to know

[@reggaelove7223]

Respect to this great man and leader of the Abyssinian Baptist Church!

[@2005peasah]

Adam Clayton Powell Junior wasn't only a preacher but a politician that stood up for Africans in Harlem the African belt of America.

[@robertbright-jc3sd]

I had seen Mr.Powell often as a child and young man I was introduced to him through my Grandmother Mrs.Barbara.R.Patterson who was not just a friend of Mr.Powell and his wife Mrs.Powell”Hazel Scott” but a STAUNCH SUPPORTER. My Mother use to tell me when she my Uncle and Aunt were made to go out and demonstrate in HARLEM with Mr. Powell against businesses and the MTA who opposed our people through racist practices. “MR. ADAM CLAYTON POWELL WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST BLACK LEADERS OF OUR TIME, HE AND HIS WORK SHOULD NEVER BE FORGOTTEN”.

[@fredawalker]

My dad loved him.

Thank you so much for this! I grew up listening to this album until we couldn't play it no more. My favorite track on this album was Burn Baby Burn

For 3 years I’ve lived on 7th Avenue who also goes by the name Adam Clayton Powell Jr. blvd. and it’s sad that the handful of people I’ve talked to don’t have a clue about who he is or what he has done

[@charlesstevens6705]

Im glad I do jaymatic23 from seeing him but when he was in Harlem proudly standing there as a MAN ! GOD ,what men did live and stand in the 60's inthe "COUNTRY of HARLEM" as my Mother taught me a pride in Harlem that I shall always have because f the PROPHETS that strode its streets.

[@normanhirschfeld3823]

He wasn't black. He admitted towards the end of his life that he couldn't verify having as much as a single black ancestor in his family tree! I would have known that anyway. He looked Italian or Greek.

[@the2ndcoming135]

He looks Hispanic, also😎

[@normanhirschfeld3823]

@@the2ndcoming135 Of the variety with mostly or exclusively European ancestry. Hispanic isn't a race. It's a term that encompasses any of the people that inhabit South America( except Brazilians) that speak the language that was introduced by the Spaniards. Some of them can be natives, whites, blacks, even Asians or a mix of two or more of these races. The stereotypical latino/latina is usually mestizo or castico( 1/2 or 1/4 native/European mix). Whatever his true ethnicity ACP didn't look black. I don't understand why this lie is kept alive by so many of my fellow AA's! Are we so desperate for role models that we need to claim non black people to fill those roles? ACP even admitted late in life that he was a fraud, but this seems to have escaped the radar of most of my felllow AA's . If it's done deliberately or because of ignorance I don't know. Anyway, there are plenty of genuine black people to look up to. Even some who have made much greater contributions to society than this imposter.

I’m 49 years old and I have voted 🗳 in every election, midterm & special election since 1988. Years before I was even old enough to vote, I had seen footage of the civil rights movement, the marches, sit-ins, Freedom Rides, Emmett Till, Medgar Evers, MLK, etc. HOW with any oz of conscience, or any sense of pride can I NOT vote?

The OTHER Great Black Preacher of the 1960s. Where are the great orators of the 21st century?

[@tulayamalavenapi4028]

If you want to know who came to NYC penniless, and preached the message of the Lord after crossing the Atlantic on a cargo ship, @ 70 years old, having had two almost fatal heart attacks, and considered America his fatherland, it may surprise everybody here, that he was the tawny- golden complexioned saint from Calcutta named Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. His books were spoken and transcribed, do in that sense he was an orator, but in addition he gave thousands of hours of interviews, public lectures, and daily morning walk conversations that are recorded. His spirit & his message are consistent with the Reverend Powell, and with every other personal God proponent, and his teachings are universally attractive for both simple common citizens, and also well-educated philosophers, educators, clergy, or professional persons. I took the question literally & seriously, so that anyone could benefit by this introduction. With love, krishnapath.org vedabase.org These are "lawbooks" for humanity for the next 10,000 years. 🙏🏻🌐💙💐💙🌐🙏🏻 Heal the world.

There are/have never been "prophets." This sounds like an accomplished politician...oh, that's what it is! If we listen, it is just words, nothing of substance...just faith, hope and prayer! No jobs, food, businesses, no end to poverty, no human rights...! This is an concrete affirmation of the timeline of brainwashing by the charismatic among us. Each generation has it's own "leaders" pushing rhetoric and...religion, in the face of the brutality, poverty, the disenfranchisement of FUTURE generations. We have always loved polished storytellers. Thank you for this presentation.

Are you aware that "prophet" originally meant that one is a truth teller? Only question is, what is the truth?
