going to church. Quinn Chapel A.M.E. Church, Flint's oldest black church, celebrated 140 years in Genesee County today. After the service, the church's pastor Rev. Gerald D. Cardwell answered my question about that span of time being long for an establishment but very brief for the course of history better than my rambling words deserved. "Living in tough times is nothing new for Quinn Chapel. It was founded 10 years after the end of the Civil War and then those who had come up from the underground railroad to escape slavery settled in Flint... And then 25 years later, the industrial revolution ends and the automobile industry began, and so this was essentially a promised land for African-American's to live, to thrive and to increase the quality of their own lives through work education and faith in God." #onassignment #mlive #flintern #michigan #flint
