What happens when outsiders to the HBCU community try to impact Black college culture? The answer may not be as straightforward as you think.
When a fire ravaged the Prince of Peace Missionary Baptist Church in Queens one winter day, the pastor of the small congregation vowed to rebuild. That was in 1997. Ten years later, a new building large enough to accommodate 250 worshipers, three times the congregation’s size, had risen on the site in St. Albans.
But this is not a feel-good story of destruction and rebirth.
