• White men tore down a Baltimore County church. Its Black congregation never gave up. (thebanner.com) — In Pikesville, Campfield AME Church's Black congregation is preserving a hard‑won legacy after white developers destroyed its original chapel and desecrated its graveyard more than a century ago. Newly examined archives detail how church trustees fought back in court, rebuilt on Walnut Avenue, and now support neighbors through efforts like a back‑to‑school drive for Pikesville Middle School. Their story highlights resilience, community focus, and the importance of telling local Black history accurately.
