Proud Moment
Dr. and Mrs. E.C. Smith
1928
Is this the moment when Ernest Clarence Smith began his 48-year tenure as pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church in Washington, DC? Here he stands, along with his wife, Mamie Odile Smith, in front of the church; they each have just the beginning of a smile as they look toward the camera. I think they're forward to the start of a journey, those long years of service to their church and community.
