Born a slave, the self-educated Rev. John Jasper became famous for his celebrated sermon “De Sun Do Move,” which he delivered more than 250 times, including once before the Virginia General Assembly. In 1867, Rev. Jasper will go on and found the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church. https://t.co/6FCy7d5hB4 — PolitiTweet.org
