CHESTERTOWN â On a cold and rainy Monday, Dec. 14, the Rev. Robert Brown Jr. was seated behind his desk in historic Bethel AME Church as Gordon Wallace made some final adjustments on a pair of cameras.
They were working on a video with Wallace interviewing Brown about the history of the church, Brownâs career and his role on Chestertownâs Equity Advisory Committee.
Also at the church that afternoon were Bayside HOYAS (Helping Our Youth Achieve Success) co-founder John Queen, chairman of the Equity Advisory Committee, and committee member Kate Livie.
The committee is a key component of the Chestertown Unites Against Racism initiative, a 16-month plan brought to the town council by Mayor Chris Cerino in the fall.
