This content does not reflect our values. These type of baptism on the banks of the Mississippi River were a public ceremony that attracted many converts in the South to the Delta region. Predominately African American Baptists performed their sacred ritual of outdoor baptisms on the Mississippi River until well into the 20th century in this Baptist-heavy state. Immersion baptisms typically took place in rivers or other natural bodies of water and summer and fall were the natural seasons for these congregational events. This rare photo captures a religious practice that has been integral to African-American Baptists for centuries. Photo has some toning surface soiling spotting and very small tear to right edge. But is still clear and in good to very good condition. unknown books
