A 1944 automotive history book mentions two African-American "sects" - the Know the Truths and the Never-Die-Sanctified. What were these groups? What happened to them?

The book is Combustion on Wheels: An Informal History of the Automobile Age by David L. Cohn. I haven't read it but it is quoted in another book I am reading. The two sects are mentioned as ones which "can afford neither a regular pastor nor even a church building" and therefore rely on transient preachers in cars.

Just for curiosity, what is the other book you are reading? Thanks!
