Sutton Elbert Griggs novelist and minister was born at Chatfield Texas to Rev. Allen R. Griggs in 1872. His father was a former Georgia slave who had become a prominent Baptist minister in Texas. After graduating from Dallas public schools and Bishop College in Marshall 1890 Griggs attended Richmond Theological Seminary at Richmond Virginia between 1890 and 1893. On May 10 1897 he married Emma J. Williams of Portsmouth Virginia. Upon graduating from seminary Griggs took a pastorate in Berkley Virginia. It was here that he wrote his first novel Imperium In Imperio 1899 which may be the first black nationalist novel. Over the course of his career Griggs wrote more than a dozen books including five novels five social tracts his autobiography a short biography of John L. Webb and The Kingdom Builder's Manual 1924 a booklet of biblical quotations. At his expense he published and distributed these works which were generally written for "the aspiring classes of the black south." Although virtually unknown among whites his writings were generally read by African Americans. Griggs wrote in a very direct style that was somewhat stiff and formal. He was one of the few Southern members of the Niagra movement a civil rights group which had an outspoken platform based on the issue of racial and social justice and which eventually evolved into the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Although he has often been characterized as a black nationalist based on the plot of his first novel this may be an overgeneralization since his subsequent novels do not contain this theme. In Imperium in Imperio Griggs chronicles the social and political injustice to which blacks are subjected. He describes the meeting of the Imperium in Imperio a secret political organization in Waco Texas composed of blacks who are frustrated with the social and political status of blacks in America. In the novel the leader of the organization argues for the violent takeover of the state of Texas. Neither this work nor any subsequent novel by Griggs received widespread distribution. Although succeeding Griggs novels Overshadowed 1901 Unfettered 1902 The Hindered Hand 1905 and Pointing the Way 1908 are deemed "less militant" by some scholars they received poor circulation. One reason may be that many of Griggs's philosophies 009400camera inv. The Orion Publishing hardcover
