Meet Me at the Court and The Bailey Family will help kick off Black History Month with the 10th annual Black History Person and Youth of the Year Banquet and awards presentation.
The Rev. Fred Maeweathers Sr. served the faith community here for nearly four decades before he passed away on Dec. 19 at age 82 from complications of COVID-19.
Maeweathers grandson, Michael S. Maeweathers, currently pastor of Mt. Carmel Missionary Baptist Church in Jupiter, said his grandfather was hospitalized following a positive COVID-19 test and passed away about 10 days later. My grandfather was treated with an experimental drug cocktail and a few plasma transfusions and he then took a turn for the worse. Just as he spread the gospel, he would want others to know to take the COVID-19 threat seriously, Michael S. Maeweathers said in a phone interview.
