February is Black History Month
Greater Zion Missionary Baptist Church – Black History Month Presentation
Today at Greater Zion M.B.C., our Black History Month worship service featured a powerful and thought-provoking Slave Auction Reenactment, designed to educate, honor, and remember the resilience of our ancestors. Slave auctions were organized events where enslaved men, women, and children were displayed, inspected, and sold as property to the highest bidder during the era of the transatlantic and domestic slave trades. This inhumane practice was a central component of chattel slavery, reducing human lives to commodities for profit and labor.
Under the leadership of Pastor Dayle Perry, who served as the auctioneer in the reenactment, our congregation was given a vivid and emotional reminder of the harsh realities our ancestors endured—and the strength, dignity, and faith that carried them through.
This presentation was not only educational but served as a moment of reflection, unity, and gratitude for the progress made and the work that still lies ahead. Sister Green purchased the whole LOT for $1000.00.
