HISTORICAL ;
LITTLE ROCK_^
. .Officials of - the Afro'
American Cultural Center
Restoration Project an
nounced this week that
Charlotte’s churches will
observe this Sunday, June
24, as “Super Synday” to
support the fundraising
drive to restore the old
historic Little Rock'. AME
Zion Church to house the
Center.,
At the weekly reporting
session; early this week,
Gerson Stroud of the Pro
ject’s Church Solicitation
Committee said plans are
underway for local’minis
ters to meet this week, and
determine how each one
will , participate. Some
churches are expected to
make outright pledges to
the campaign to raise $800,
000 to complete the re
toration work. Others are
considering special offer
ings and pledgee to the
campaign, which ends
June 30. S
rrgjeci leauers say mey
are pleased with the re
sponse they have received -
from local churches, both
black and white. They have
made their appeal to both
religious sectors of the
community because, as
they put it, the historical
significance of the Little
Rock AME Zion Church,
the f%st Ward neighbor
hood where it stands, and
contributions of the Afro
American Cultural Center
cut across racial lines.
However, this fund drive is
said to be the largest and
single most' important
money-raising effort ever
started within the Mack
community of Charlotte
Meek] en burg.
Contributions and pledg
es have ranged from one
dollar gifts from small
children to 935,0Q0 from
some major corporations.
Perhaps one of the most
signigicant pledges came
from the Logan Chapel
CME Church in the J. H.
Gunn community of north
east Mecklenburg County.
The!/ church wSs de
stroyed by fire in March,
but the members still
banned together to pledge
9100 while trying to rebuild
their sanctuary. Campaign
officials say that that
church’s pledge was of
major significance because
it showed that members
recognised the Importance
of the success of this fund
drive.
Other churches will have
the opportunity to show
their support for the fund
drive this coming "8uper
Swiday.’’
