The Great African - American Writer B E Mays:

Benjamin Elijah Mays (August 1, 1894 – March 28, 1984)
was an American Baptist minister and American rights
leader who is credited with laying the intellectual
foundations of the American civil rights movement.

Mays taught and mentored many influential activists,
including Martin Luther King Jr, Julian Bond,
Maynard Jackson, and Donn Clendenon, among others.

Mays often criticized the complacency or active opposition of many
white churches regarding racial equality.
He argued that many white congregations were more focused on
maintaining the status quo rather than advocating for social change
and justice. He pointed out that,
rather than being a force for equality and reform,
many white churches were complicit in perpetuating racial segregation and discrimination.

In this context, Mays might discuss how white churches often avoided
confronting the realities of racial injustice and failed to support
the civil rights movement adequately.

His critique likely underscores the need for religious institutions
to actively engage in and support the struggle for racial justice
and equality, challenging both their congregations and society

At large to address and dismantle systemic racism
His rhetoric and intellectual pursuits focused on
Black self-determination.

Mays' commitment to
social justice through nonviolence and civil resistance
were cultivated from his youth through the lessons
imbibed from his parents and eldest sister.

The peak of his public influence coincided with his nearly
three-decade tenure as the sixth president of Morehouse College,
a historically black institution of higher learning, in Atlanta, Georgia.
