Bethel Church to Have Music Festival

Description

This newspaper clipping advertises an upcoming sermon by Lt. David A. Blake, Jr., son of Rev. David A. Blake Sr., who served as minister at Bethel A.M.E. from 1933-1937 (David Addison Blake Sr (1887-1970), n.d.). As a central Black church of the North Central area, Bethel A.M.E served as a community stronghold for Black residents to discuss concerns about race relations and housing discrimination in the city (Shackman, 2000). Several notable community leaders came from the church, including Rev. David A. Blake Sr. and Rev. Lyman Parks, who later played a role in the desegregation of Ann Arbor public schools (Jones School, n.d.).
