Honoring black history in Wilmington: St. Stephen AME Church - WECT TV6-WECT.com:News, weather & sports Wilmington, NC

St. Stephen AME Church in Wilmington has been around since the late 1800's. It was originally built after members of the former Front St. Methodist Church were denied having a black Chaplain of the Union Army come preach a sermon. They then formed their own church which became St. Stephen.
