Stretch Of West 79th Street Named For Archbishop Who Died Of COVID-19
"The history of the Black church in Chicago could not have been written without a chapter on Archbishop Lucius Hall," said Bishop Trotter.
CHICAGO (CBS) — A stretch of West 79th Street between Damen and Campbell avenues has acquired an honorary street name for Archbishop Lucius Hall. Hall was the founder of the First Church of Love and Faith in Auburn-Gresham, at 2140 W. 79th St. along the stretch that now honors him. He died from COVID-19 last April at the age of 87.
“The history of the Black church in Chicago could not have been written without a chapter on Archbishop Lucius Hall,” said Bishop Larry Trotter of Sweet Holy Spirit Church.
