A Resemblance and a Contrast Between the American Negro and the Children of Israel: in Egypt, or, The duty of the Negro to Contend Earnestly for His Rights Guaranteed Under the Constitution
"Grimké was a brilliant, fiery orator...argued that African Americans needed to fight for the justice they deserved." -BlackPast.org
"One of the leading African American clergy...located the black American experience within the story of Israel's Exodus."- politicaltheology.com
"The sociopolitical bondage of the Israelites seems to Grimke a most fitting comparison...the story of the exodus speaks especially to blacks." - The Heart of Black Preaching (2000)
"Grimke displayed powerful intellect...developed a reputation for dispassionate advocacy in struggles for racial justice." - African American Lives (2004)
Regarded for more than half a century as one of the leading African American clergy of his era, prominent in working for equal rights, Francis James Grimké (1850 –1937) was an American Presbyterian minister in Washington, D.C.
In 1902, Grimké published a short 20-page book comprised of a sermon he delivered, titled "A Resemblance and a Contrast Between the American Negro and the Children of Israel in Egypt."
His purpose was to point out that "there is a contrast suggested between our people in this country, and the children of Israel in Egypt." In contrasting the Israelites with African-Americans, Grimké notes:
"The children of Israel wanted to go.... So far as I have been able to ascertain the sentiments of our people, it is our purpose to remain here. We have never known any other home, and don't expect, as a people, ever to know any other. Here and there an individual may go, but the masses of our people will remain where we are."
Rather than making an exodus as the Israelites did from Egypt, Grimké instead exhorts:
"Let us be men; and let us stand up for our rights as men, and as American citizens. 'Be strong! It matters not how deep entrenched the wrong, How hard the battle goes, the day, how long. Faint not, Fight on! To-morrow comes the song.'"
Other books by the author include:
• The Negro: His Rights and Wrongs
• The Lynching of Negroes in the South
