Every August, we would have homecoming. So many people would come back that they would be standing outside. Now everybody will be able to fit in because we are going to build a bigger church. I'm sad because we have lost a part of history. But it makes me happy to think about the kind of church we can rebuild here. |
People who I thought didn't care, you know, white people, they started expressing their sorrow. They came down and hugged us. Some of them started even crying. Even the older ones, they came and said, 'Come worship at our church. |
We've lost a lot of history, but we have gained a lot of friends we didn't realize we had. |
