Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. John Bryan Small (died January 15, 1915) was an African-American bishop in the AME Zion Church. Born and educated in Barbados, Small joined the British Army as a clerk and was stationed in the Gold Coast for three years, resigning due to British aggression towards the Asante. In 1871 he travelled to the United States, becoming a preacher with the AME Zion Church. In 1896 he was elected AME Zion bishop to Africa, where he concentrated his work in the Gold Coast, training indigenous African church leaders - including James E. K. Aggrey - by sending them to Livingstone College. Though Small returned to the US in 1904, his deathbed words were Don't let my African work fail.
