Instituted as \"a mission\" twice, in 1919-1926 and again in 1947-1954, Rodeheaver began Rainbow with the intention of capturing the thriving religious and social movements of his day, minus its sectarian and racial divisions. He recorded several of the earliest surviving sermons by prominent clergymen and black Gospel music by amateur groups. Rodeheaver closed Rainbow down in 1926, but after a 20-year hiatus, he revived the label in much the same spirit as before, capturing a key transitional period in Sacred America just before the rise of modern fundamentalism.
