FIVE GENERATIONS OF LEADERSHIP

THE INNOVATION OF DR. LADONNA BOYD: 2017-PRESENT

As the fifth-generation president/CEO, Dr. Boyd is shaping and leading the company’s efforts to broaden its scope and offerings for modern needs. With a targeted focus on product development, technology, commercial printing opportunities, and author resources, Dr. Boyd has cultivated a wide range of skills necessary to lead R.H. Boyd through a new generation. The vision for R.H. Boyd is to be the leading resource for storytelling through print, multimedia channels, data collection, events, and serving as industry experts. R.H. Boyd is also positioned to assist in the alleviation of social concerns and social injustices, in addition to fulfilling the needs for Christian education, commercial printing, and educational resources within its community and beyond.

THE GUIDANCE OF DR. T. B. BOYD III: 1979-2017

Dr. T. B. Boyd III was appointed by the Board to assume command of the institution. Dr. Boyd began to lead with unsurpassed vigor and devotion, and the National Baptist Publishing Board (NBPB) and the Congress began to grow at a phenomenal rate. One of his first major tasks included designing and building the new corporate headquarters, completed in 1974, fully equipped with the latest technology, production mechanisms, and safety measures. One of his most notable successes was the launch of The New National Baptist Hymnal, 21st Century Edition. This hymnal is still one of the most iconic product offerings at the company. His commitment to youth and education was continued with the founding of the Boyd Family Endowment Fund, which provides scholarships and grants to students and community organizations.

THE ENDURANCE OF DR. T. B. BOYD, JR.: 1959-1979

In May of 1959, Dr. T. B. Boyd, Jr. assumed leadership of the NBPB, the National Baptist Congress, Citizens Banks, and other entities. During the turbulent decade of the 1960s, Dr. Boyd’s vision was to provide church leaders who were often bypassed by standard curricula with new Christian ideas and techniques. Dr. Boyd was a supporter of the Civil Rights Movement, and he hosted Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who served as a speaker at the 1960 session of the National Baptist Congress in Chicago, Illinois. Dr. Boyd called for unity and the uplift of Black people in the Baptist denomination, which was deeply divided at the time because of theological disputes and cultural upheaval. Dr. Boyd’s focus on product development, acquisition of new equipment, and the planning of a new headquarters were pivotal in the success of the companies.

THE LEGACY OF DR. HENRY ALLEN BOYD: 1922-1959

In 1922, Henry Allen Boyd became the leader of NBPB, National Baptist Congress, and Citizens Bank. Dr. Henry Allen Boyd restructured the National Baptist Congress format, and a curriculum was developed to meet the critical social and religious needs of the period. Dr. H. A. Boyd also expanded the product offerings of the NBPB to include an extensive array of products, such as certificates, songbooks, record books, and educational courses. By 1934, NBPB served over 20,000 churches and Sunday schools across the country and the world. Citizens Bank continued to grow as well, reaching $1 million in capital assets by 1944. Under his leadership, the institutions survived the depression, world wars, conflict, opposition, growth, and competition.

THE VISION OF DR. RICHARD HENRY BOYD: FOUNDER 1896-1922

Dr. Richard Henry Boyd was a pioneering clergyman, religious organizer, educator, banker, and inspiring leader. He was a strategic problem solver and sought to provide resources and business solutions to freedmen and freedwomen during the late 1800s and early 1900s. In 1896 he founded the National Baptist Publishing Board (NBPB), now known as R.H. Boyd. Within ten years of founding the National Baptist Publishing Board, the company became the largest and most notable Black publishing enterprise with an impressive list of publications. Dr. Boyd was a leader in the fight for civil rights, and he also promoted homeownership, missionary work, and travel among Black people. His dedication to elevating the position of Black people in multiple areas of life, in addition to religious studies, solidifies his place in history as one of the pioneering leaders of the time.

OUR MISSION: R.H. Boyd empowers our community by providing educational, inspirational, and culturally relevant content, services, and events.

OUR VISION: Our vision is to impact tomorrow through influential storytelling, culturally relevant educational content, scholarship and grant support, and transformative leadership training. We are dedicated to uplifting our community, amplifying diverse voices, and fostering a legacy of excellence in publishing, multimedia resources, and events.

OUR MOTTO: Teach. Lead. Inspire.

BANNED BOOKS AVAILABLE

This section highlights banned books by African-American authors, underscoring the critical role of literature in preserving history, promoting empathy, and inspiring progress. Throughout history, these writers have used the written word to challenge injustice, share untold stories, and inspire change. Today, many essential works are being removed from certain library and public school collections due to restrictive legislation. Yet, even as efforts are made to suppress these voices, the stories of the unheard continue to resonate, igniting a lasting impact. By engaging with these works, readers honor the importance of freedom of expression while resisting attempts to silence marginalized voices. These books not only preserve history but also empower future generations to think critically, empathize deeply, and advocate for a more just society.

VBS LESSON SERIES

Day 1: Wonderful Counselor (Key Verse: Matthew 11:28) • Message: Jesus invites all those who are weary and burdened to come to Him. In 1 Corinthians 1:24, Paul tells us Jesus is our advisor and teacher. He is a wise counselor who resolves our confusion. The wisdom of this world cannot compare to His wisdom.

Day 2: Mighty God (Key Verse: Hebrews 2:10) • Message: Jesus shelters us from conflict. The name “Mighty God” is translated from a Hebrew phrase, that can mean “mighty” God or “hero” God or “warrior” God. Jesus is a warrior God who fought on the battlefield of Calvary.

Day 3: Everlasting Father (Key Verse: Revelation 1:8) • Message: Revelation 1:8 identifies Jesus with God and affirms His eternal reign. The Everlasting Father offers His children fatherly love, care, goodness, and compassion. Christ acts toward us like a good father who is a provider and protector. His provision and His protection are everlasting.

Day 4: Prince of Peace (Key Verses: Luke 2:14) • Message: Jesus is a wonderful comforter who soothes the human conscience. He is the supreme giver of peace, the one who gives us peace with God (Romans 5:1) Christ’s peace is not merely the absence of conflict but includes a deeper, spiritual calm and reconciliation between God and humanity.

Day 5: Savior and Lord (Key Verse: John 3:16) • Message: God is a promise keeper. He will fulfill what He says He will do and through the Son grant eternal life to all who believe. All who believe in Jesus Christ “may not perish but may have eternal life.” God’s love is manifested through the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ, with the promise of eternal life for all who believe in Him.
