“13 Decades Deep”
In these times of public manipulations and denials of well-documented historical research, the Early Edgewood-Candler Park BiRacial History Project responds to our local Candler Park Centennial in 2022. We are compelled into community action, informed by our archives’ 16 years of materials and our special relationship with the Antioch East Baptist Church.
We feel a deep responsibility to the descendant Black Church and families who co-created this neighborhood and handbuilt this Sanctuary 100 years ago. The physical dimensions of history still vibrate today, in their presence and in their absence. If we can open to their meanings, perhaps we can move together toward healing and repair.
