Rev. Dr. Alvin Edwards has been part of the Charlottesville, Virginia faith community since 1981 but in 2015 after the horrific attack at the Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina he began to assess his relationships with the local clergy. The question he could not shake – do we trust each other enough to come together if racially motivated hate and violence come to our community. Edwards talks about what happened next – long before the Unite the Right rally.
Rev. Dr. Alvin Edwards Ph.D. Pastor of Mt. Zion First African Baptist Church in Charlottesville, Virginia, since 1981. A Graduate of Wheaton College, he earned an M.Div. from Virginia Union University and a doctorate from George Mason University.
Edwards is the founder of the Charlottesville Clergy Collective. He has served on the Charlottesville City School Board and as the city’s mayor.
