Mt. Moriah - Black Church in Otterville, Missouri

Mt. Moriah is a black church in Otterville, Missouri.  This image was taken by Tracy L. Wilson-Kleecamp on her visit to Missouri in a quest to find out more about her ancestors.

She writes what many do not know or do not talk about:  Missouri was not a “neutral” state but was a slave state.  And the highest concentration of African American/Native American slaves were located in the Missouri River counties such as Buchanan, Jackson, Lafayette, Saline, Callaway, Chariton, Cooper, Howard, Boone, Pike, Marion, St. Louis and many other counties of Missouri.  For more information, you may visit her site at:
