St Matthew Baptist Church Faces Displacement by Cooper River Bridge
Charleston's St Matthew Baptist Church, a historic downtown gathering site since the 1920s, faces relocation as the Cooper River Bridge project claims part of its property. The church, active in civil rights history, will move to a larger North Charleston sanctuary amid concerns over stained glass and proximity to a future ramp. Parishioners express mixed emotions about leaving their 1950 building.
