In the life of the United Presbyterian Church, a denomination of American Presbyterians in the latter half of the twentieth century (1958–1983), the “The Angela Davis Affair” represents an era in race relations from which there is still much to learn. This dissertation reflects on the Davis affair as a historical case study of the so-called northern Presbyterian Church's response to the struggle for racial justice in the United States in the 20<super>th</super> century, with particular attention to the impact of race on church and society from roughly the 1940s to the 1970s. Generally, the study focuses on white/black race relations and the church's public witness for racial justice by examining the collaboration of white and black United Presbyterian church executives committed to fight racism and to redress racial injustice in word and deed, in church and society.

520 $a In the life of the United Presbyterian Church, a denomination of American Presbyterians in the latter half of the twentieth century (1958–1983), the “The Angela Davis Affair” represents an era in race relations from which there is still much to learn. This dissertation reflects on the Davis affair as a historical case study of the so-called northern Presbyterian Church's response to the struggle for racial justice in the United States in the 20<super>th</super> century, with particular attention to the impact of race on church and society from roughly the 1940s to the 1970s. Generally, the study focuses on white/black race relations and the church's public witness for racial justice by examining the collaboration of white and black United Presbyterian church executives committed to fight racism and to redress racial injustice in word and deed, in church and society.
520 $a Specifically the research investigates how black church executives and their white allies in executive positions within the denomination strategically directed the resources of the predominantly white Presbyterian Church to support black civil rights and racial justice. The Angela Davis affair came about as the result of a strategic decision on the part of the Council on Church and Race to grant $1 0,000 from the Emergency Fund for Legal Aid to the Marin County Black Defense Fund for the defense of Angela Davis in May 1971. A chronological summary of actions by the Council on Church and Race and other principal denominational agencies and organizations provides an interpretative framework of events leading up to the 183<super>rd</super> General Assembly meeting in Rochester, New York, where the Angela Davis grant became the subject of one of the most divisive national debates in the history of the United Presbyterian Church. This event has received too little attention in denominational studies for what it may yet teach generations of white and black Presbyterians about how differently black and white United Presbyterians view the church's calling to unity and justice, and how race prejudice and racial injustice continue to be bona-fide stumbling-blocks to the church's mission of reconciliation.
