Description	Close-up view of the cornerstone for Bryant Temple A.M.E. Church, located at 2525 W. Vernon Ave. It reads "Bryant Temple A.M.E. Church; Founded October 27, 1968; J.C. Brooks, First Pastor; Trustees: S. Moore, B. Brewer, H. Burton, J. Martin, A. Decree; V.L. Brenson, Pastor; I.H. Hunt, Pres. Elder; Rt. Rev. H.J. Bryant, Bishop; March 8, 1970." Verso on photograph states that this church was formerly known as Sephardic Brotherhood Temple (Jewish), possibly dating as far back as the 1950s. The African Methodist Episcopal Church was the first African-American organized and incorporated denomination in the U.S. The church, born in protest against slavery and against dehumanization of African people that were brought to the American continent as free labor, has been one of the forerunners of education within the African-American Community. The A.M.E. church estimates approximately 5,000,000 members worldwide, 9,000 ministers, and 7,000 congregations in more than 30 nations. Photo dated: April 2004.
