St. John United Methodist Church

Another Freedom School, St. John United Methodist Church held literacy and debate classes and taught students to understand the U.S. Constitution and their rights. Reverend L.P. Ponder served as pastor of both St. John United Methodist Church and Bentley Chapel UMC during this time.
