A Conversation: African-American Sacred Spaces

A LEGACY OF RESLIENCE

Discover the history and legacy of Houston’s oldest African American Baptist church, founded in 1866.  A conversation, discussing the architectural construction of Reconstruction, takes place between Dr. Christopher Hunter, Assoc. Prof. of Practice in Architecture, Texas A&M University, and Pastor Lou McElroy. Mrs. Jacqueline McElroy, the great-great-grand-daughter of Rev. Jack Yates, who rose from slavery to be elected as Antioch's first Pastor, will relate the story of his life and journey to Antioch.
