La Iglesia Metodista Unida Centenary le invita a la dedicaci\u00f3n de su marcador hist\u00f3rico. La ceremonia de dedicaci\u00f3n tendr\u00e1 lugar el jueves, 20 de noviembre de 2025, a las 3:00 p.m., en la iglesia, ubicada en 584 E. McLemore Avenue, Memphis, Tennessee<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Este marcador, aprobado por la Comisi\u00f3n Hist\u00f3rica de Tennessee, sirve de homenaje a los sacrificios, luchas, valent\u00eda y resistencia de pastores y congregaciones, y se erige como un poderoso recordatorio de los costes asociados al progreso y la libertad. La iglesia y la escuela Centenary fueron fundadas por la Iglesia Metodista Episcopal del Norte en 1865, en la calle Raburn, cerca del centro de Memphis. Desde su fundaci\u00f3n, pastores y miembros han participado en acciones civiles y la iglesia ha tenido un impacto definitivo en la comunidad. Incendiada en la masacre de Memphis de 1866, Centenary fue reconstruida en enero de 1967 y continu\u00f3 su misi\u00f3n ministerial. Los alumnos de la escuela se convirtieron en algunos de los primeros profesores negros de Memphis; la primera guarder\u00eda para ni\u00f1os negros de la ciudad se estableci\u00f3 en la casa parroquial; y la primera tropa de Boy Scouts negros de la ciudad se organiz\u00f3 en la iglesia.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durante el punto \u00e1lgido de las tensiones raciales en 1940, el Dr. H. B. Gibson, pastor y presidente local de la NAACP, y los miembros de la iglesia participaron activamente en la lucha por el derecho al voto. En la d\u00e9cada de 1960, el papel de Centenary en la comunidad fue vital, dirigido por su pastor, el reverendo Dr. James M. Lawson, Jr. En 1966,Centenary sirvi\u00f3 de sede para la planificaci\u00f3n estrat\u00e9gica destinada a garantizar que James Meredith  Marcha contra el miedo<\/em>de Memphis a Jackson, Mississippi, continu\u00f3 despu\u00e9s de que dispararan a Meredith. El miembro del Centenario, Atty. A. W. Willis, Jr., era el abogado local de Meredith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cuando en febrero de 1968 estallaron las antiguas tensiones entre los trabajadores negros de los servicios de saneamiento y los funcionarios municipales, el p\u00e1rroco de Centenary, el reverendo James Lawson, se reuni\u00f3 con el alcalde de Memphis para instarle a que ofreciera unas condiciones de trabajo dignas. Al no llegar a un acuerdo, los trabajadores celebraron reuniones en Centenary y acabaron convocando una huelga. El Dr. Lawson invit\u00f3 al Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. a venir a la ciudad para ayudar a los trabajadores y se celebraron sesiones de estrategia en la iglesia. El Dr. King fue asesinado a tiros en el Motel Lorraine el 4 de abril de 1968. Clara Ester, miembro del Centenario, intent\u00f3 socorrerle en el balc\u00f3n. Otro miembro del Centenary, Robert S. Lewis, Jr., prepar\u00f3 el cuerpo del Dr. King para su entierro, en su funeraria de la avenida Vance. Tras la tr\u00e1gica muerte del Dr. King, Centenary atrajo la atenci\u00f3n de la naci\u00f3n y se ha mantenido fiel a su tradici\u00f3n de impacto hist\u00f3rico y servicio. A medida que la congregaci\u00f3n reflexiona sobre su viaje, tambi\u00e9n mira hacia un futuro basado en la historia compartida y una visi\u00f3n colectiva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
