Penllyn Village

"This is an account of the evolution of a small Black American settlement that began in 1888, in the village of Penllyn, Pennsylvania. The writer focuses on its rich history and offers a glimpse of the culture and the people of faith whose determination guided the community over several generations. The importance of the Bethelehem Baptist Church in the fabric of the community is paramount to the story. The author has fulfilled her father’s dream and her commitment to the community to record for posterity a description of their lives from their perspective with those of earlier times."
