Title
Bethel To Hear Former Pastor
Description
This newspaper clipping describes an upcoming sermon by Rev. David A. Blake, Sr. at Bethel A.M.E. Church. Bethel A.M.E. was a central location for the Black community of the North Central region of Ann Arbor, where community members met and discussed issues of housing and school segregation in the city (Shackman, 2000). Blake served as minister of Bethel A.M.E. from 1933-1937, known for hosting Race Relations Day events where multiple Black church congregations gathered to talk about community action surrounding racial discrimination in the area (David Addison Blake Sr (1887-1970), n.d.). He went on to join the board of directors of the Ann Arbor Cooperative Society and eventually was elected the first Black American to serve as a Board Supervisor in Ann Arbor as a Board Supervisor of the 4th Ward in 1951 (David Addison Blake Sr (1887-1970), n.d.).
