                                 ______


                         HON. JAMES E. CLYBURN

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 4, 1994

  Mr. CLYBURN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to proudly announce that the 
128-year-old Trinity United Methodist Church in Orangeburg, SC, is one 
of several Sixth District sites recently nominated to be placed on the 
National Register of Historic Places.
  Trinity Church is significant for its historic service in the 
African-American community and for its 20th century gothic revival 
architecture. The church was organized in 1866 by newly freed slaves. 
The existing church at 185 Boulevard NE is the fourth sanctuary to 
serve the congregation.
  Construction on the existing church began in 1928 and was designed by 
African-American architect William W. Wilkins.
  The Rev. George F. Manigo is pastor of the historic church and H.B. 
Pasley is chairman of the board of trustees.
  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased this church is being recognized for its 
historical significance in African-American history.
