Joined by the center’s interim CEO Marva Harris, pastors from the 5-N-1 Churches, as they call themselves, announced the financial commitment during an April 5 press conference at Ebenezer Baptist Church.

FINANCE—As Rev. Glenn Grayson of Wesley Center AMEZ and Rev. J. Van Alfred Winsett of Ebenezer Baptist look on, August Wilson Center Interim CEO Marva Harris explains how their $25,000 pledge, made with three other churches will help offset construction cost overruns at the center.
