In this episode of Freedom Journeys: Sacred Places, host Solomon Jones traces the remarkable story of Charles Albert Tindley, from his escape from slavery as a child to his rise as pastor of what became Tindley Temple United Methodist Church, and one of the most influential Black hymn writers in American history. Through interviews with historian Jillian Pirtle, Reverend Carolyn Cavaness, Reverend Mark Kelly Tyler, and Brian Armstead, the episode weaves Tindley's journey together with the parallel story of Richard Allen and Mother Bethel AME Church, exploring how faith, music, and resilience shaped Black institutions in Philadelphia. Discover how Tindley's hymns — including "I'll Overcome Someday" — inspired Mahalia Jackson and ultimately gave rise to "We Shall Overcome," the anthem of the Civil Rights Movement, and how his legacy of standing up against injustice still echoes at Philadelphia's sacred places today. The episode also touches on ongoing preservation efforts, including the Charles A. Tindley Legacy Preservation Center taking shape at Tindley Temple and a new wellness clinic at New River Presbyterian.
