Both institutions have been in existence for over 150 years and were established to continue to encourage and promote the educational and religious freedom of Africans in America. Over the past 150 years SLBC and VUU have shared a close bond through many of the pastors and members of SLBC who have worked or been educated at VUU. Seven of the eleven clergymen to serve as pastors of Second Libertyhave been educated and/or taught at VUU. Their names are: Dr. Andrew Harvey Cumber, William H. Gray, Dr. John Kemp, Dr. Miles Mark Fisher, Dr. George W. Watkins, James W. Mills, and Sean T. Young. VUU Day at SLBC was not only an opportunity to celebrate the longstanding relationship but to raise money for the scholarship fund at VUU. The church and its members were able to raise $2500 for the scholarship fund at VUU. The donation will be presented to VUU during the SLBC 152nd Church Anniversary on Sunday October 21st.
