We were honored to have The Rev. Dr. Alvin C. Hathaway, Sr. as our Annual meeting Keynote Speaker.
His presentation on ‘Historic Preservation as Economic Development: Culturally Sensitive and Relevant Community Economic Development.” was very insightful and inspiring.
Dr. Hathaway is the President/CEO of Union Baptist Church – School, Inc. and Beloved Community Services Corporation, through which he is restoring Justice Thurgood Marshall’s Elementary School, along with several other significant historic buildings in Baltimore through a multi-phase, multi-million dollar redevelopment program.
Reverend Hathaway, now retired, was the 10th Pastor in Union Baptist Church’s 170-year history. He is also one of the founding principals of African Ancestry Neuroscience Research Initiative. He is also the founder of Act Now Baltimore, a faith based community action network.
Reverend Hathaway has two terminal degrees: Ph. D. in Philosophy of Religion from The North Carolina College of Theology and Doctor of Ministry degree from the United Theological Seminary.
