dbo:abstract Henry McNeal Turner (February 1, 1834 – May 8, 1915) was an American minister, politician, and the 12th elected and consecrated bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME). After the American Civil War, he worked to establish new A.M.E. congregations among African Americans in Georgia. Born free in South Carolina, Turner had learned to read and write and became a Methodist preacher. He joined the AME Church in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1858, where he became a minister. Founded by free blacks in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the early 19th century, the A.M.E. Church was the first independent black denomination in the United States. Later Turner had pastorates in Baltimore, Maryland, and Washington, DC. In 1863 during the American Civil War, Turner was appointed by the US Army as the first African-American chaplain in the United States Colored Troops. After the war, he was appointed to the Freedmen's Bureau in Georgia. He settled in Macon and was elected to the state legislature in 1868 during the Reconstruction era. An A.M.E. missionary, he also planted many AME churches in Georgia after the war. In 1880 he was elected as the first Southern bishop of the AME Church, after a fierce battle within the denomination because of its Northern roots. Angered by the Democrats' regaining power and instituting Jim Crow laws in the late nineteenth century South, Turner began to support black nationalism and emigration of blacks to the African continent. This movement had started before the Civil War under the American Colonization Society. Turner was the chief figure in the late nineteenth century to support such emigration to Liberia; most African-American leaders of the time were pushing for rights in the United States.

À partir de 1867, durant la période dite de la Reconstruction, il devient un des leaders politique des Afro-Américains du Sud des États-Unis. Mais à partir de 1877, se mettent en place les lois Jim Crow, promulguées par les législatures des États du Sud, lois établies pour entraver l'effectivité des droits constitutionnels des Afro-Américains, acquis au lendemain de la guerre de Sécession, à savoir : le Treizième amendement de la Constitution des États-Unis du 6 décembre 1865 abolissant l'esclavage, le Quatorzième amendement de la Constitution des États-Unis de 1868, accordant la citoyenneté à toute personne née ou naturalisée aux États-Unis et interdisant toute restriction à ce droit, et le Quinzième amendement de la Constitution des États-Unis, de 1870, garantissant le droit de vote à tous les citoyens des États-Unis. Amer face à ces lois ségrégatives, Henry McNeal Turner devient un chantre du nationalisme noir et soutiendra les idées pan-africanistes prônant l’émigration vers l'Afrique. (fr)
