Town Clock Church in New Albany, Indiana served as the dividing line between slaveholding and free states. It was an integral site for the enslaved seeking freedom. I am reminded of James McBride's novel The Good Lord Bird where Captain John Brown refers to "hiving the bees" as a term for gathering my people wanting to fight for freedom. We still need to hive the bees on this arduous continuing journey. We need kujichagulia and the assistance of others.

During the Jim Crow era, Teachers College enrolled many aspiring black teachers who had been denied admission by institutions in southern states. Thus while his parents took summer courses, William Epps (M.Ed. ’70), now Pastor of Los Angeles’ famed Second Baptist Church, swam in TC’s pool, played in the children’s brass ensemble and explored the city. Epps later attended Union Theological Seminary, where he protested of the Seminary’s treatment of minorities and helped change the curriculum, and earned a master’s in educational administration at TC. That training has helped his pastorship at Second Baptist, long a force in the American Civil Rights movement. In 1992, after the riots triggered by acquittal of police officers in the Rodney King beating, Epps served as peacemaker, healer and educator. “I spoke to angry people in our own community about the futility of violence and the importance of resolving conflict peacefully,” he recalled, “But I also did a lot of explaining to others why something like this happens – how the criminal justice system failed, how people were outraged by what was clearly a rigged verdict.” Epps helped improve LAPD’s transparency, increase its accountability in using force and encourage nonlethal subduing tactics. Today, Second Baptist offers social welfare and education programs for southern California’s disadvantaged children and families.

We visited the Underground Railroad yesterday located at Second Baptist Church downtown Detroit. I was in awe of the history there and being able to sit in one of the last locations where slaves found freedom! What an experience. #goodtimes #detroit #mayberryfamily #mayberry #familyreunion #undergroundrailroad #secondbaptistchurch #downtowndetroit #history (at Second Baptist Church of Detroit)
