The First 100 Years 1907-2007: The History of the First Baptist Church of Passtown and Its Home in the Beloved Community in Hayti Coatesville, Pennsyl

The First 100 Years tells the story from 1907 to 2007 of the First Baptist Church of Passtown and the African American Community of Hayti in Coatesville, Pennsylvania. The church members and residents tell their stories in words and pictures during the milestone 100th Anniversary of the First Baptist Church of Passtown in 2007.

There are many historical Hayti communities throughout the United States. In this Hayti community, families migrating from the South found an oasis and have been neighbors and friends for over 100 years.

Whether researching segregated schools in a northern state; or family members who migrated from the South to work in a steel town; or history contained in the books written by Hayti residents; you may find the answer inside, on the pages of this book.

The surprise connections fell from the sky. What began as a small, local history of our church and community has yielded so much more historical texture.

The years tell us much that the days never knew - Ralph Waldo Emerson
