Our Mission >In celebration of African American History Month, ABHMS spotlights a remarkable woman of God, the Reverend Dr. Prathia Hall (January 1, 1940 – August 12, 2002). Raised in Philadelphia, this daughter of a Baptist preacher matured to become a leader-activist in the Civil Rights Movement. Said to have been an inspiration for the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, Hall was a noted womanist theologian and ethicist. She was also one of the first women ordained American Baptist.
