First Sentence

In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in America, black slaves absorbed, appropriated, and actually "stole," from their white masters a blondy-haired, blue-eyed Jesus of orthodox Christian doctrine who was "blackened" in their reconstruction of him not so much in feature as in figure, not so much in skin tone as in bodily bearing, not so much in content of preaching as in meaning.
