With Black History Month coming to an end, St.
James Missionary Baptist Church located at 3606 Ogburn
Ave. held a celebration that highlighted African-American
history from the 1920s to now.
Accounts from each decade were given to show the

and how far we have come as a race."
Mother Charlie Bell Leviner started off the day by
recounting stories of her childhood during the 1920s, of

down from the
Transfiguration Jesus is
greeted with a commo
