Material Detail

Birmingham-Easonian Baptist Bible College traces its origin to 1904, when two African American ministers, William Pettiford and Charles Octavius Boothe, began offering Charles Octavius Bootheclasses at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Jefferson County. Their students were African American ministers from the state's rural Black Belt region who were moving to the city to establish churches. Many of these individuals needed instruction because most possessed no formal biblical or theological training and many could neither read nor write.
