AT THE CROSSROAD: VISITING GEORGIA'S RURAL BLACK CHURCHES

Ariymme Colston, Special Contributor Graduate Student, Candler School of11teology, Emory University

The African American programs office at Georgia Historic Preservation Division engaged summer intern Ariymme Colston to assess data and inquiries regarding some ofGeorgia's rural historic African American churches, i11 an effort to identify those in danger ofbeing lost. After reviewing more than 150 entries and files compiled over the last 15 years, Ms. Colston set out to prioritize those ide11tified rural churches and to conduct site visits with HPD program staffover the course ofeight weeks. In the following report, Ms. Colston shares her observations while visiting three rural historic African American churches and meeting those advocates working to save them.

M y internship is part of a deeper quest to save the physical evidence of Black religion in Georgia-older and historic Black churches-that represents the enduring faith of the founders but are rapidly slipping away. This quest led me to three rural churches in West, Central, and North Georgia respectively; each exhibits varying levels of structural integrity, community support, and preservation potential. All confirm the need for ongoing documentation and targeted technical assistance. Mt. Zion Baptist Church sits near the dead end ofa residential road cut off by Interstate 85. The well-maintained' church epitomizes AfricanAmerican vernacular ecclesiastical architecture and its adaptation through the years.' Two white, wooden towers stand on each side of the edifice, indicating that the church's original white clapboard hides beneath its current red brick exterior. The congregation organized in 1868, but Rev. Van X. Shrieves explained that the church we were visiting was built in 1906. Like most Black churches in the rural south, Mt.
Zion stood at the center of Black life. The Mt. Zion
church campus includes a oneroom schoolhouse and a cemetery, indicating that the congregation served its members and surrounding families "from the cradle to the grave:
Just at the rear of the church, the old wooden schoolhouse suffers through the perils of neglect. And across the road named for the church is the

cemetery, the final resting place for some of those founding

ancestors. Rev. Shrieves said the congregation wishes to

save and restore the schoolhouse and seek a National

Register district nomination for the church, school, and

cemetery.

Mt. Zion is represenlive of the many historic

black churches that desire to recognize their history

but struggle to meet the requirements for National

Register designation. In my internship I learned that

this designation involves three basic must. haves: age,

historical significance, and structural integrity. The third is likely the biggest hurdle for ML Zion and many historic

rural African American churches. The tendency is for

congregations to update edifices beyond recognition as

they choose to use their historic properties rather than abandon them. But this often means such otherwise

significant, rural Black churches may not find their way

into the national record.

University of West Georgia Archivist Shanel Murrian

joined this site visit to Mt. Zion and shared about the

African-American Clmrches in Wesl Georgia Community Archives Project that aims lo preserve and archive pieces

of history at churches established 100 years ago or earlier.

She recommended an oral history "harvest" as a first step

toward preserving Mt. Zion.

Andrews Chapel Methodist Church sits on a quiet rural road in Cohutta. It is a strange but charming single

tower church with an even stranger history: the founders

bought the edifice, then located in Tennessee, and hauled

it across the state line by mule. The town of Cohutta now owns the vacant church building.

Inside, town officials and descendent of the church,

Ms. Teresa Burse, discussed the church's history and their

hopes for the structure. Brimming with enthusiasm, they

discussed marketing, funding options, and the benefit

of National Register designation. With only one known

member of the congregation surviving and possibly no

written records remaining, this nomination process will

prove challenging. This rural church models both reasons

for optimism and for concerns as the town considers a new

use going forward. (Learn more about Andrews Chapel on

page 3) St. Paul CME Church in Sparta, Georgia is nearly

empty, save a few pews and the red carpet on the floor. Here, church trustee and local preservationist, Harrell

Lawson, shares his vision for the church he loves. Using its

history, Lawson believes this historic church can generate

interest and revenue needed to preserve itself.

St. Paul sits tucked away at the end of a two-lane road, on the same land sold to the congregation in 1870 by the plantation owner David Dickson. TI1e paved road brings you to the back of the church which seems odd. But Lawson explained Old St Paul church was built to face the Dickson Plantation where the founding church members were enslaved. From this enslaved community rose American notables such as Rev. Lucius Hosley, Julia Fra11ces Lewis Dickson and her daughter Amanda America Dickson.

St. Paul's congregation now worships in a new building

down the road and hosts an annual homecoming service

that packs the new sanctuary beyond capacity while "Old"

St. Paul sits unfurnished and unused.

Lawson asks how does a historic congregation

translate the need to preserve its historic edifice to a

younger generation that doesn't want to look back? How

does one make historic preservation palatable in an era of

innovation? Also, given their location, rural churches face

special challenges in drawing both attention and income lo

historic resources in sparsely populated areas. Perhaps the

dramatic true story of Amanda America Dickson2 and her

return home to the St. Paul congregation in 1870 provides

a start.

s. MAMIE GEORGE WILLAMS: TIRELESS CHAMPION OF HER PEOPLE
Velma Fann, Co11trib11tor Historian, New South Associates

Mamie George Williams (1872-1951) was a towering civic and political leader of the early 201h century. A native and a life-long resident of Savannah, she held high-ranking positions in local and national women's clubs, served as a member of the Interracial Commission of Georgia, assisted in establishing a school and home for African American girls, and rose to become one of the nation's foremost leaders ofthe Republican Party. Yet today, few speak her name. A graduate of Beach Institute in Savannah and the Atlanta University, Mrs. Williams began her life of civic service during World War I, supporting Liberty Loan Drives and other war efforts at home. She earned a coveted pin for her 2,400 hours of volunteer work with the Toussaint L0uverture branch of the American Red Cross in Savannah.

Mrs. Williams is also credited with bringing out 40,000 Georgia women to vote in the 1920 presidential election, waging a voter's campaign and flooding the state with literature, making speeches and picketing polling places.'

In 1924, Mrs. Williams made national political history as the first Republican woman from Georgia and the first African American woman in the nation appointed'(and later elected) to serve on the National Republican Committee. Mrs. Williams also became the first woman in U.S. history accorded the privilege of the floor at a National Republican Convention. She spoke in defense of the Georgia delegation whose seats were being contested by the lily-white faction of the party that sought to strip Black Republicans of their power.2 She remained in politics and later expressed her devotion to politics, stating: "To many politics is a sordid game. But to me it means th~ getting of everything worthwhile out of it for the race.''3
Immediately after the 1924 convention, she gathered with other influential black women to establish the National Republican League of Colored Women, the first national political organization ofAfrican American women.
Mrs. Williams became a charter member of the Southeast Federation of Colored Women's Clubs and was elected President of the Georgia State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. She was also elected Vice-

As Georgia's Republican committeewoman, Mrs. Williams was due the honor of recommending supporters to federal positions. She was repeatedly denied this privilege by President Herbert Hoover, whom she and other black Republican leaders helped to elect. \Vhen Hoover named a committee of three white men to dispense federal jobs in Georgia, the Chicago Defender wrote, "Her record is clean. No taint of corruption is charged against her. n1e only reason that can be assigned for no cons ideration being shown her is that she is Colored." s
She held her seat of political power until 1932, when the lily-white contingency successfully removed Black Republicans from key, decision-making positions. At the close of her political career, the Atlanta Daily World thanked Mrs. Williams for her service, noting that "...at no time did temptation in its glaring disguise move her to deliver her people and her party for thirty pieces of silver:.i
Mrs. Williams continued supporting the black community, serving as a Director of the Carver Bank in Savannah and as Board Member of Central (City) State College in Macon. In 1935 Williams was awarded the WaldorfClub silver loving cup for outstanding service. In the 1940s she led a movement to establish the Colored Recreation and Swimming Pool in Savannah and was instrumental in securing a grant to establish a state home for colored girls in Macon.
Born in Savannah in April 1872 to Reverend James and Sarah Miller, she was given the name Mary Frances, but was called Mamie. She married twice, and twice was widowed, marrying Forance Lambert in 1899, and George Williams in 1902. She often was referred to as Mrs. George S. Williams, carrying the name of her second husband, a respected business leader in Savannah. To her closest friends and contemporaries, she was Mamie George.
Mamie Williams died in Savannah's Charity Hospital on July 8, 1951.

In eulogizing Mrs. Williams, Sol Johnson, editor of the Sava,mah Tribune, wrote:
/11 tire passing ofMrs. (Mamie) George S. Williams, Sava,mah has lost another citizen...loyal to it to the core and a tireless cltampion ofher people...Perhaps none ofher activities gave her more satisfaction than her work with tf1e Chatham Protective Home for Negro Girls and the Girl Scouts. Many children whom she mothered bear eloquent testimony ofthe devotion to a cause to which she gave the latter years ofher life.1

Although battle-tested, victorious and at times standing

as a lone reed speaking out on behalf of her people,

Williams never wavered; she never gave in. Mamie George

Williams was a beacon-oflight for women and tireless

champion for her people.

CARRIE MAE HAMBRICK DAY: CELEBRATING SERVICE AND COMMUNITY IN STOCKBRIDGE
Lisa Fareed, Special Co11tributor Progam Assistant, Stockbridge Mai11 Street Program, City ofStockbridge, Georgia

For 11 years running, hundreds reunite in the

Tye Street neighborhood to pay homage to a lady and

a landmark that served the community for over 50

years. The third Saturday in May is reserved for the

Carrie Mae Hambrick

Commemorative

Celebration organized

by the Stockbridge Civic

Association.

To honor this

neighborhood icon,

the Stockbridge Main

a historic marker and

this year's celebration.

Grant. Mayor Anthony S. Ford and local leaders spoke

of the legacy ofMrs. Hambrick and her SO-plus years

of selfless service. And following the tradition ofMrs.

Hambrick, all were welcome to the day-long celebration

and no one left hungry. Carrie Mae Slaughter was born 100 years ago on

March 8, 1919 in Jonesboro, Georgia. Through the

popularity of her Green Front Cafe, she became a

respected businesswoman. Through her philanthropy,

she became a pillar of the community. Believed to be the

first restaurant in Stockbridge where Blacks and Whites

safely dined together despite the prevalent segregation

of the time, the Green Front Cafe was one ofthe town's best loved gathering places. 1

In the 1940s Stockbridge was a farming town in

Henry County. The population was less than 500, and

there was a Jim Crow culture. The downtown had a few

essential businesses such as the general slore, pharmacy,

and feed store. With the closest eateries being miles

away in Morrow, workers from the rock quarry and

surrounding cottonfields did not have many options

for a wholesome meal until a young woman began

operating a small cafe out of her home in 1949.

With her husband, Hime Hambrick, Sr., Carrie Mae

Hambrick acquired their home from her cousin, Argustus

"Rat" Slaughter, who built it in 1947. Mr. Hambrick was

a WWII veteran and longtime employee of Atlanta Army

Depol. Together, they nurtured a family of five, and later,

a community of hundreds. Warm and welcoming to all,

Mrs. Carrie Mae, as she was called, created a sense of place

and belonging for the community. The little green building

at 112 Second Street became a local hub. It was common

to call the cafe's pay phone to get a message out to someone

who would be passing through. Mrs. Carrie Mae became

the friend and advisor to elected officials and longtime

neighbors. She used her cafe to support causes or would

partner with leadership to "get things done':

Nestled within a tight knit community, Mrs. Carrie Mae

served soul food delicacies and her sought-after cornbread

at a good price. She had simple selections like hot dogs

on toasted buns, and hamburgers made-from-scratch that

were said to rival any craft burger today. Kids from both

sides of the railroad track loved Mrs. Carrie Mae too. She

and her business sponsored a youth baseball team called

the Stockbridge Pirates. Every summer she arranged trips

to nearby amusement parks for a busload of neighborhood

kids.

Carrie Mae Hambrick passed away on January 17,

2010 at age 90. The Green Front Cafe closed in 2008 and

sat vacant for several years. In 2018, the mother-daughter-

team ofDiane and Malana Miller ofStockbridge took up

that challenge ofreviving the beloved business when they

purchased the building. According to Mrs. Miller, the

renewed Green Front Cafe will serve both area patrons and

those visiting

the nearby

T he Georgia African American Historic Preservation Network (GAAHPN) was established in January 1989. It is composed of representatives from neighborhood organiz.ations and preservation groups. GAAHPN was fonned in response to a growing interest in preserving the cultural and built diversity ofGeorgia's African American heritage. This interest has translated into a number of efforts which emphasize greater recognition ofAfrican American culture and contributions to Georgia's history. The GAAHPN Steering Committee plans and implements ways to develop programs that will foster heritage education, neighborhood revitalization, and support community and economic development. The Network is an informal group of over 3,000 people who have an interest in preservation. Members are briefed on the status ofcurrent and planned projects and are encouraged to offer ideas, comments and suggestions. The meetings provide an opportunity to share and learn from the preservation experience of others and to receive technical information through workshops. Members receive a newsletter, Rtjlectitms, produced by the Network. Visit the Historic Preservation Division website at www.georgiashpo.org. Preservation infonnation and previous issues of Rejlecti1111s are available online. Membership in the Network is free and open to all.
