“Joseph Jordan and Universalism in Hampton Roads”
In 1889, Joseph Jordan became the first ordained African-American Universalist minister, and the church he founded became the First Universalist Church of Norfolk. With support from the Universalist General Convention, Jordan expanded the church with a school for African-American children and founded another Universalist school in Suffolk that served generations of African-American families through the 1980s.
