As co-creators of churches, women were a central factor in their development and as Collier-Thomas skillfully shows black church women created national organizations such as the National Association of Colored Women, the National League of Colored Republican Women, and the National Council of Negro Women to fight for civil rights and combat discrimination. <P>While religion has been a guiding force in the lives of most African Americans, for black women it has been essential. <i>Jesus, Jobs, and Justice</i> restores black women to their rightful place in American and black history and demonstrates their faith in themselves, their race, and their God. <BR> <H2>About the Author(s)</H2> <P><b>Bettye Collier-Thomas</b> is Professor of History at Temple University.
