AFRICAN AMERICAN PASSOVER IN KANSAS CITY

Dr. Cheryl Black, an area pediatrician, and a good high school friend, is working with me and Rev. Gary Cornelius Jones, U-Church Baptist Church-Pastor, to organize and to present the African American Passover Celebration, on April 13, 2014. It will commemorate the "passing-over" from slavery to freedom of black people on April 9, 1865, at Appomattox, Virginia, where Rebel General, Robert E. Lee, surrendered to Union General, Ulysses S. Grant. We, liturgically, will praise God for our deliverance and for our progress as a people at the U-Church in Kansas City, Missouri, in its accented regular service.
