A farewell to a pillar: Celebrating the retirement of the Rev. C.W. Andrews
As I pen this heartfelt tribute to the Rev. C.W. Andrews, I do so not just as the president of the Spokane NAACP but as a community member who grew up within the welcoming embrace of Calvary Baptist Church – the oldest Black church in Washington state. With my humble heart, I celebrate a remarkable milestone: Reverend Andrews’ retirement after an incredible 50 years of dedication to his congregation and the broader community.
