The Black Liberation Church held its inaugural worship service at the Historic Riverside Church on Dec. 2, led by Harlem native the Rev. Dr. Derrick Shahem Johnson Sr.
The mission of the newly formed church is to be an epicenter of spiritual development while serving as a community resource and empowerment zone in West Harlem for Black men, women, children and families.
Johnson also recalled being inspired by the Rev. C. Vernon Mason, the Rev. Clemson Brown, and the scholar and historian Dr. Leonard Jeffries when he was growing up in the village of Harlem as a youth leader.
