Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of a community leader, Reverend Albert E. Chew, Jr. Reverend Chew was born in a little town in east Texas and moved to Fort Worth, where he served as pastor of the Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church for 56 years. I can tell you that, during his time at Shiloh, Reverend Chew not only impacted the Northside community where the church was located, but the greater overall Fort Worth and Tarrant County communities. Reverend Chew served on the Fort Worth Human Relations Commission, the Missionary Baptist Church General Convention of Texas, and also was one of the early founders of a group, the Black Ecumenical Leadership Alliance, also known as BELA. His church was very committed to the NAACP and often held various NAACP meetings at the church. Reverend Chew, previous to his service in the ministry, was also a veteran of World War II. He will be greatly missed in the Fort Worth community. He was a great gentleman, a legend. Let's pray for our friends at the Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church. ____________________”
