Thomas Cain Fund for Historic Black Churches - About the Rev. Thomas Cain The Rev. Thomas Cain was the second priest of color in the Diocese of Texas. He was born into slavery in Virginia, later arriving in Galveston as a missionary priest. He was made deacon and priest by Bishop Francis McNeece Whittle, the fifth Bishop of Virginia, and he was in charge of St. Phillip’s Church for colored people in Richmond, Virginia for many years. He was a graduate of the very first class of the Bishop Payne Divinity School (a school that was founded in Petersburg, Virginia in 1878 to train African Americans for ministry in the Episcopal Church). He transferred to the Diocese of Texas in 1888 and was placed in charge of St. Augustine’s Mission. Under his leadership, the congregation made great progress raising funds for a permanent chapel. By 1897, there were more than 180 active African American communicants, and a church was built in 1889 in the heart of Galveston. The first service was held on Ash Wednesday in 1889. Near the end of that year, a new chancel area had been constructed within the church, but on September 8, 1900, the Great Galveston Storm of 1900 washed away the church and rectory. Most unfortunately, the Rev. Cain and his wife both perished in the storm. During his time in the Diocese of Texas the Rev. Cain represented the diocese at a General Convention, and he planted churches in East and Central Texas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9b28474a94e866f4baf870/1604516611957-WQKFXMAGB8EREZWE75HR/wbJ5IQWTQ1m%2BUomVRp2lqA_mini_52.jpg The Rev.

In 2003, Evelyn Talbot, a descendant of the Talbots, visited Christ Church of Matagorda. Its vicar, the Rev. Hoss Gwin, found her and learned that she was looking for information related to her ancestors. These brothers were slaves, baptized in one our churches, and their niece returned to that very church to give thanks for her own Christianity. She came to find where the gift of Jesus and the gospel had come from in her family’s life. She and the Rev. Hoss talked, and they connected with other members of the Talbot family who are still there. They had a meal and they worshipped together. Brothers John and Joseph Talbot are examples of a very complex history and story. https://www.edotracialjustice.org/our-committee daily 0.75 2024-10-01 https://www.edotracialjustice.org/the-dr-bertha-sadler-means-endowment-for-racial-justice daily 0.75 2020-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9b28474a94e866f4baf870/1604516786107-GM1K8569X4U20MXIPWOA/Means.jpg The Dr. Bertha Sadler Means Endowment for Racial Justice - About Dr. Bertha Sadler Means Dr. Bertha Sadler Means is a former successful educator, civil rights activist, and business owner.

Pauli Murray The Rev. Pauli Murray was the first African-American woman to be ordained as an Episcopal priest. Moreover, she was among the first of all women to be ordained by the Church. With dreams of attending Columbia University, she attended Hunter College in New York City, after being denied admission to Columbia because the university was only open to men. After graduating from Hunter College, she attended law school at Howard University in Washington, D.C. Although she graduated first in her class, she was denied the opportunity to enroll at Harvard University for additional studies- again, because she was a woman. A successful lawyer and author, her experiences fueled her passion to advocate for women and play a role in the civil rights movement. Murray broke several glass ceilings that brought about rare opportunities for Black women during that time. In 1946, she was hired as California’s first Black deputy attorney general. As a civil-rights activist, she marched alongside the great Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Ms. Rosa Parks. She, however, protested against discrimination- not only on the basis of race, but also gender. Murray worked in academia as vice-president of Benedict College, later becoming a professor at Brandeis University until she went to the seminary and was later ordained. The Rev. Murray was the first woman to celebrate the Eucharist at an Episcopal church in North Carolina. She eventually committed her life to one of mission reconciliation and focused on ministry to the sick in a parish in Washington, D.C. A woman before her time, Murray left a rich legacy of achievement, not only in the Episcopal Church. As just one example, Yale University posthumously named one of its residential colleges in her memory. The Rev. Pauli Murray was a forward-thinking force to be reckoned with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9b28474a94e866f4baf870/5c607426-b126-4a4a-a762-1e856f538801/PauliMurrayEvent-111.jpg The Texas Pauli Murray Scholarship Fund Maria Umana and Ryan Hawthorne, recipients of the 2020-2021 Texas Pauli Murray Scholarship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9b28474a94e866f4baf870/f2103b4e-3c4f-4831-b86d-57608e1f44ac/0454AE1B-8483-497A-8E2F-7B34CD1AAE02.JPG The Texas Pauli Murray Scholarship Fund https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9b28474a94e866f4baf870/08c0cdbc-c3d4-4a71-939c-a3d57e04997f/PauliMurrayEvent-10.jpg The Texas Pauli Murray Scholarship Fund https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9b28474a94e866f4baf870/ff462793-faaa-44ac-bd91-4c17d2169288/PauliMurrayEvent-67.jpg The Texas Pauli Murray Scholarship Fund https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9b28474a94e866f4baf870/9a0ead38-871c-42bd-aa8c-da6cdcc56297/PauliMurrayEvent-116.jpg The Texas Pauli Murray Scholarship Fund https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9b28474a94e866f4baf870/fb38ba88-e7c6-4d06-9767-3e3d4f8f2da0/PauliMurrayEvent-69.jpg The Texas Pauli Murray Scholarship Fund https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9b28474a94e866f4baf870/942603d0-501a-4b9b-952c-8f30f1e228ab/PauliMurrayEvent-108.jpg The Texas Pauli Murray Scholarship Fund https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9b28474a94e866f4baf870/cc2b2a93-2f12-4c1a-a5b1-ec49b266ca9e/PauliMurrayEvent-113.jpg The Texas Pauli Murray Scholarship Fund https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9b28474a94e866f4baf870/e77ba276-e2fd-422c-a296-3e088de10137/PauliMurrayEvent-76.jpg The Texas Pauli Murray Scholarship Fund https://www.edotracialjustice.org/contact daily 0.75 2020-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9b28474a94e866f4baf870/1605629747132-TKQVTUPBIRPNUTHKGW8R/Tammy+Headshot.png Contact https://www.edotracialjustice.org/wells-scholarship-recipients daily 0.75 2021-04-15 https://www.edotracialjustice.org/history daily 0.75 2021-05-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9b28474a94e866f4baf870/1604422752492-NNVB8W17U3O24XF09NNA/gallery_xlarge.jpg History - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.edotracialjustice.org/hws23 daily 0.75 2023-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9b28474a94e866f4baf870/1604351230026-5V55OJ7C10OFXRN9PNSI/henrietta+wells.jpg The Henrietta Wells Scholarship Fund 2023 - About Mrs. Henrietta Bell Wells Henrietta Wells was a social worker and educator who attended Wiley College.
