History Lesson
HISTORY LESSON - Children from the Sunday school of Bethel A.M.E. Church watch history being made in Ann Arbor as Plum Street is renamed Sunday to honor the late Rev. John A. Woods. The Ann Arbor City Council voted last month to rename the street after a petition drive by members of the church. Woods is the first African-American in Ann Arbor to have a street named for him. Former Mayor Al Wheeler, City Councilwoman Ann Marie Coleman along with members and friends of the church spoke during the ceremony Sunday. The Rev. C. Wesley Gordon is now pastor of Bethel.
