SBC: Black History Project focuses on Black leaders
PHOENIX (BP)–African-American pastors can become leaders among Southern Baptists when they get involved enough to be known and respected, said E.W. McCall, longtime pastor of St. Stephen Baptist Church in La Puente, Calif.
Lott Carey, a freed slave supported by Baptists in Richmond, Va., inaugurated missions work in the African country of Liberia in 1821. 
George O. McCalep Jr., president of the African American Fellowship of the Southern Baptist Convention. McCall offered his advice during the inaugural seminar of the Black History Project June 14 at Bethesda Community Baptist Church in Phoenix. The seminar was hosted by the Black Southern Baptist Denominational Servants Network.
“Get involved on the local level,” McCall said. “Stay involved when you're popular and when you're not.”
