The Negro in All Ages
"Turner was fighting against racialist can---scientific as well as political...would go on to address ethnology and evolution yet again when he gave his lecture 'The Negro in All Ages.'" - Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Feminist as Thinker (2007)
"His lecture 'The Negro in All Ages' was a product of immersion in the works of the biologists and anthropologists of his time." - Bishop Henry McNeal Turner and African-American Religion in the South (1992)
"Turner...opposed evolution on grounds of the uniqueness and permanence of human species and incompatibility between evolution and the Bible's sacred character." - The Mount of Vision: African American Prophetic Tradition (2012)
Noting that "the forces of error have been marshaled against the most palpable teachings of nature, as ferociously as against the simple revelations of Holy Writ," African-American Bishop Henry McNeal Turner set out to dispel racist notions prevalent among 19th century adherents to the theory of evolution.
In 1873, Turner would publish one of his popular sermons in defense of the Black race as a short 39-page book titled "The Negro in All Ages."
For those who had the opportunity to hear Turner's sermon in person, it would leave a lasting impression. In his book "From Slavery to the Bishopric in the A.M.E. Church," Bishop William Henry Heard writes:
"For the first time I heard Bishop H. M. Turner speak. He spoke on 'The Negro in All Ages.' He spoke for two hours. I was so impressed with the pictures and historic facts he presented of the Race in the past ages, and of the men of the present, that my life is largely what it is because of the impressions made at this meeting."
