Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. Unit of Work with Colored People
Variant namesIn 1923, the Board of Home Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. was reconstituted as the Board of National Missions (BNM). At that time, the Board of Missions for Freedmen, which the Board of Home Missions had created in 1865 to minister to freed African-American slaves, became the BNM's Division (later Unit) of Work for Colored People. The Associate Secretary, John M. Gaston, was promoted to Secretary of the Unit of Work with Colored People, and he remained in that post until retirement in 1938. He was succeeded by Dr. A.B. McCoy.
