Lincolnville, SC, recognized 151 years after it was founded by freed blacks following Civil War
The heart of Lincolnville is most visible inside a church, where spirituality mixes with historical research and racial integration.
On a recent Monday, warm light filtered through the yellow stained glass windows inside New Vision Cathedral. It was just after noon and the regulars had filed in: a couple of sisters, a husband and wife and a woman with three young children.
With their eyes closed, hands clapping and hips swaying, they prayed in a call-and-response.
