Davis, Homer H., 1923-

 
Information on Davis' life has been helpfully provided by the staff of the West Virginia Conference of the United Methodist Church. He earned his B.A. degree from West Virginia State University in 1949 and served the Conference as a staff member (1979-82), one of the first African-American district superintendents (Charleston, 1982-88), and “minister of reconciliation,” a post to which he was appointed in 1969. In June of that year, he delivered 2 addresses at the annual conference in Buckhannon.

Additional information can be found in “Rev. Homer Davis: Our Champion for Diversity, Equity and Race Relations,” published on pp. 7-9 of the 2017 February Circuit, a publication of the West Virginia Conference.
