In front of the majestic Pilgrim Baptist Church, a snapshot of mid-century America unfolds before our eyes. The image captures the essence of an early morning in 1941 as worshippers gather outside the church. The street is lined with parked cars from that era, their sleek designs adding a touch of nostalgia to the scene.
