Matriarch leads reunion as rebuilt Mount Zion church opens
In Greeleyville South Carolina Carrie Wilson aged 72 sang in thanksgiving at the first worship service in the newly built Mount Zion African Methodist Episcopal church. The fire set a year ago by white assailants targeted this historic site and its community, but the congregation gathered now for renewal under a white steeple and red carpet. The service honored ancestors who built the church and marked a hopeful step after years of racial hatred and threats.
