#SouvenirAfricanAmericanChurchPrograms (1934-1977)
African American church websites across the country frequently leave out their church history, names of their early pastors, and their earlier locations. These souvenir programs are priceless black gold; they're chock filled with important church history, biographical information about the early pastors, photographs, black business advertisements from the community, and other church members/activities.
This is just a small sampling of the vast collection of church sourvenir programs within the Nanny Jack & Co Archives. We also have programs from Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, etc.
