It was from Brown Chapel that the fateful Bloody Sunday march began and the successful Selma-to Montgomery march originated. Since the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 a direct result of Selma protests Brown Chapel has remained an active stop on commemorative marches and a rallying place for black leaders. By the 1970s, however, the church's grandeur, and its floors and ceilings, were sagging, said Rembert.
The balconies unsafe, the pulpit a shower during rainstorms, and the cupolas leaning dangerously, the church was in dire need of repairs when Rembert and the congregation began a fundraising drive to repair the historic church. "I remember I gave the church a check for $1,000, which I had borrowed from Edwin Moss at the credit union. It was Dec. 26, 1982. Dr.
J. A. Williams and his wife gave me the kind of support I needed and gave the church $1,000. Soon all members were giving what they could and our campaign began." Over the next year, the church's campaign to repair its church, which is on the register of historic places, became a community campaign. "We received money and support.
from blacks, whites, liberals and conservatives," said Rembert. Eventually some $40,000 was raised to match a Alabama Historic Commission matching grant which the city of Selma helped the church apply for. "One gentleman sent us a donation with a note which said that while he didn't agree with what Dr. King stood for, he admired his courage," said Rembert. "Also, the preservation aspect brought in a lot of donations.
People wanted to help save this building. The extremes of local support was amazing, from Hank and Rose Sanders to Mayor Joe T. Smitherman." Since then, some $150,000 in work as been done at the church, including a new roof, rewiring, replastering, re-painting, lumber Jean Continued from Page B1 look like buckshot. That must be the okra seeds." My cousin and I looked at each other, burst into laughter, and proceeded to scoop the okra seeds from the stew, just as Aunt Bobbie always did. That done, we, carefully mashed each solid piece of vegetable against the side of the pan, just as my mother always did.
We made only one telephone call to Charles that night, more for reassurance about the thickening time of the stew than for actual assistance. Otherwise, with our mothers spirits peering over our shoulders, we made that traditional family recipe on our own.

"We also had donations of services from members and others. Our members are still donating their services because there is still a lot to re be done." "It's been inspiring to see the support the community has given this church. People of all different faiths and ideologies came together and set aside their differences to help," said Rembert. Because of the popularity of the church, tourism has become a part of the life of the church which has a small congregation of about 200 with about 85 active members. "We are not in the tourism business, but there is a great demand to visit the church.
People come on bus tours, Chamber of Commerce tours and on their own." Black history classes from across the state visit the church as have television crews from Germany and Australia. So far this year, the congregation has been celebrating its 125th year with special programs. But a major celebration is planned when the annual AME state conference holds its 100th meeting at Brown Chapel in September. The meeting was traditionally held in' Selma for years, but "we lost it to Bethel AME in Mobile," Rembert said. "It's coming back here for this special occasion.
"It's a challenge to this congregation to become as active about today's issues as the church was the 1960s," said Rembert, who aside from pastoring Brown Chapel, is community service division chief for the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs, a job headquartered in Montgomery. "We see young people walking past this church everyday who need help with issues just as pressing, like drugs and education." He said the largely middle-class congregation is mindful of this, and wants to bring in membership from the neighboring area. "Brown Chapel is not just about keeping a AME church alive, it's also about representing the hopes and dreams of all freedom loving people." and chilled overnight.
