Edward V. Ramage

Edward V. Ramage (October 2, 1908 – December 1981) was a minister of the Presbyterian Church in the United States in Alabama.

According to officials at Columbia, Ramage completed his senior year of study, but the seminary had no record of an actual degree conferred.

After months of struggling to make ends meet he received a job offer during September 1932 to pastor three churches, Main Street, Lindale, and Barkers, scattered over thirty miles of countryside in and around the northwest Georgia town of Rome.

He was one of the eight Alabama clergymen to write and sign "A Call for Unity," criticizing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for demonstrations in response to segregation.

During the height of the civil rights tensions in Birmingham, Alabama, pressure from segregationists within his own congregation convinced Ramage to leave his longtime pastorate and pursue a ministry elsewhere.
