Slavery, Race, and Civil Rights

William B. Sweetser Jr. (Ph.D. 2000) has written a comprehensive story of the Seminary from its earliest beginnings in his book A Copious Fountain: A History of Union Presbyterian Seminary, 1812-2012 (Westminster John Knox Press, 2016). Union’s history includes much to regret and much to celebrate with regard to matters of slavery, race, and Civil Rights in the United States.  These webpages chronicle that history in brief in an effort of reflection, repentance, and renewal.
