U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell visited churches for grant presentations.
U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell visited Bethel Baptist Church in Collegeville on Sept. 11, 2023, to present two federal grants for $750,000 each to Bethel Baptist Church in Collegeville. Bethel Baptist Pastor Thomas Wilder is at right. U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell visited two Birmingham churches that were focal points of the civil rights movement on Monday to announce a new round of federal funding to preserve their historic buildings.
Bethel Baptist Church will use that money to preserve the historic building where the Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth preached when he was pastor there from 1956-61 and used it as a headquarters to lead efforts to break down Birmingham’s segregation laws. “During last year’s appropriations process, we fought hard to ensure that we included funding in the federal budget for local projects right here in Alabama,” Sewell said. “Our communities know best what they need.”
