Preserving Second Baptist Church in Los Angeles
We’re thrilled to be featured in a new video from the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund focusing on the rich history of our church and congregation.
From serving as a hub for the Civil Rights movement, to being a nucleus of the Black community during the great migration, to representing the legacy of architect Paul Williams, we couldn’t be more proud of our history or more optimistic about our future.
Thanks to the support of the Action Fund, Lilly Endowment, Inc., and all of you, we’re looking forward to serving the Los Angeles community for decades to come.
Check out the video below!

Member Valerie McDonald represented Second Baptist in New York!
On Wednesday, November 15, 2023, an intimate community of social impact leaders attended the 2nd Cultural Preservation Leadership Summit at the Ford Foundation’s Center for Social Justice in New York City. This gathering is for changemakers that harness the power of place and preservation of African American culture, and it served as a platform for sharing insights, discussing trends, and fostering meaningful connections that contribute to the equitable growth of the preservation movement.
The panel assembled - titled “Institution & Culture" - discussed the importance of the Black church as an institution, its role in the cultural life of Black people, and the historic preservation work of stewarding these heritage assets for religious, civic, and educational uses. The invited panelists included Ted Debro, 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL; Valerie McDonald, Second Baptist in Los Angeles, CA; Bishop Anne Benning Byfield, St. James AME Church in Mayfield, KY; and Dr. Noelle Trent, the Museum of African American History, Boston and Nantucket. The invited moderator was Action Fund Advisor Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

Round 2 of the Microenterprise Recovery Grant Program opened Friday, November 17, and will close on Sunday, Dec. 10. This is an incredible opportunity for microenterprises located in the City of Los Angeles to receive financial assistance in their recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The latest program, administered by the Economic & Workforce Development Department, offers grants of up to $5,000 to eligible microenterprises who have not yet received assistance through any City, State, or Federal program. The funds can be used for various operating expenses, including but not limited to payroll, lease payments, insurance, and inventory. This flexibility allows businesses to allocate the funds where they are needed most to aid in their recovery efforts.
Applying businesses must have five or fewer W-2 employees on their payroll, and their annual revenue cannot exceed $1 million. To learn more about other eligibility requirements and to apply, visit bit.ly/MicroenterpriseGrant.
