This inventory of the Church Archives of Virginia, Negro Baptist Churches in Richmond, is the second publication in the church series of the Historical Records Survey of Virginia. It is based, as far as possible, on primary sources. These sources have been supplemented by statements made to our researchers by officers and members of the churches, whose archives were surveyed, and by officers of the associations to which the churches belong. -- Preface.

''The best study yet written about the ex-slave as urban wage-earner. It is essential reading for students of Afro-American and working-class history.'' -- Herbert Gutman''This book shows that black and white workers could act together and that a working-class reform movement, at least in one southern city, could challenge the existing status quo. . . . Rachleff presents an interesting story of social, economic, and political intrigue in a post-Civil War urban environment where class was pitted against class and race against race.'' -- C. K. McFarland, Journal of Southern History
