Church of Christ Black History Facts
Holt, Andrew Clarence (A. C.) (1891-1979)
Born in Marshall County, Tennessee. Andrew Clarence Holt was the son of Gibson and Ophelia McBride Holt. He was
baptized into the body of Christ under the preaching influence of A. J. Kelsee and later received his training for the
ministry by Evangelist D. M. English. In 1925, A. C. Holt preached his first sermon and in 1933 he was called to
Memphis, Tennessee, for the first time to conduct a series of gospel meetings. Holt established three congregations in
the Memphis area and one in Mason, Tennessee, a few miles East of Memphis. In 1940, he began working at Nashville
Christian Institute along with his brother Marion Francis Holt. A. C. Holt holds the distinction of being the first
president of NCI and served in this position for three consecutive years. It was under his administration that NCI
received its accreditation and became recognized by the Tennessee State Department of Education. A. C. Holt labored
in several cities during his evangelistic career. These included Mount Clemens, Michigan; New York City, New York;
and the Jefferson Street Church of Christ in Nashville, Tennessee. A. C. Holt went home to be with the Lord in 1979.
Kennedy, Levi Albert Sr. (1846-1911)
Following the Civil War, Levi A. Kennedy, Sr., relocated to Hickman County, Tennessee, where he established the
Centerville Church of Christ among African Americans in Centerville, Tennessee. As a circuit preacher, Kennedy
would travel by horseback each Sunday preaching the good news of Christ in places such as Lewis County, Giles
County, Williamson County, and Marshall County; in addition to congregations at Fort Cooper, Center Star, Dry Fork,
and Arrow Rock. L. A. Kennedy, Sr., learned how to read and write by the fireside at night. He did not have many
books or a library, but most of the older preachers at this time such as Bill Phillips, George Hamilton, Peter Russell,
Sam Womack, and his two nephews James Ghant and Lee Kennedy; they studied the Bible each evening and almost
knew it by memory. Levi Albert Kennedy, Sr., departed this life on March 29, 1911, in Hickman County, Tennessee, at
the age of sixty-four after experiencing a brief illness.
Mitchell, Dr. Kelly K. (1928-1998)
Dr. K. K. Mitchell first stood in a Montgomery, Alabama, pulpit on Sunday, January 2, 1955. He was active in the Civil
Rights Movement led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and a staunch supporter of both the Montgomery Bus Boycott and
Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA). He was also involved in the historical 1965 March from Selma to
Montgomery, offering transportation assistance and housing to fellow participants in the march across Edmund Pettus
Bridge. In recognition of his many years of devotion to the city of Montgomery, Alabama, Mayor Emory Folmar
therefore proclaimed August 4, 1996, as “DR. K. K. MITCHELL DAY.” On August 8, 1996, Fob James the Governor
of Alabama signed a certificate of appreciation in recognition of Dr. Mitchell’s service to the Church and Montgomery.
Before his death in 1998, Dr. K. K. Mitchell who was called “The Prince of Preachers,” he received a letter of
commendation from former President Bill Clinton for his many years of religious service and for helping to create an
atmosphere of compassion and fellowship.

DID YOU KNOW THAT
The Bible speaks of just one church: Read
Matt. 16:18; Eph. 1:22-23; 4:4; Col. 1:18;
I Cor. 12: 12-27.
2. Denominational division is contrary to the
teaching of the Bible? Read: I Cor. 1:10; Phil. 3:16
3. In order to become a Christian, one must:
a) Hear the gospel - Rom. 10:17; Acts 15:7
b) Believe in Christ - John 8:24; Heb. 11:6
c) Repent of sins - Luke 13:3; Acts 17:30
d) Confess faith in Christ - Matt. 10:32;
Romans 10:9-10
e) Be baptized for remission of sins - Acts 2:38
4. When one obeys Christ in being baptized:
a) He gets into Christ - Gal. 3:27; I Cor. 12:13
b) He is saved from his past sins - I Pet. 3:2021; Mark 16:15-16
Why not obey the gospel of Christ!
