• Uncovering the legacy of a 182-year-old Black church in Baltimore County (thebanner.com) — Just a short walk from the Milford Mill Metro Station in Lochearn, Campfield AME Church is uncovering the painful and resilient history behind its 182-year-old Black congregation. Members are piecing together records showing how early 1900s developers destroyed their original chapel and desecrated graves, while celebrating how the church rebuilt in Villa Nova and continues serving nearby schools and families today.
