Description
Photograph was edited for publication purposes
Photograph article dated May 18, 1963 partially reads, "The community around First English Lutherans Church of Sacramento was a series of racial ghettos when the Rev. W. Morgan Edwards took the pastorate 11 years ago. But the gray-haired pastor entered his assignment with the determination to open the doors to all in the community. And in eight years he had the first innercity integrated church. Now Mr. Edwards has accepted the call to St. Matthew's Evangelical Lutheran Church, North Hollywood."
