Probably not.

The Church was founded by Ethiopians who were told they could not sit with the other Baptist parishioners because of the color of their skin. That was back in the early 1800s.

Their new pastor is a proven church grower who focuses on evangelism so there is hope for change in the future when some of the heathen New Yorkers of lighter hue might be persuaded to become Christians. Or at least Baptists. :)
