How did Cincinnati's West End evolve from a 19th-century German Catholic enclave into the historic heart of the Black Catholic experience in the Queen City? On Driving Home the Faith, host Dr. Ken Craycraft welcomes back Dr. Annie Huey, founder of Sacred Heritage Tours, to preview her upcoming West End Catholic History Tour. Dr. Huey explains how urban renewal and the construction of I-75 impacted the neighborhood's original six Catholic parishes, leaving St. Joseph Catholic Church as the sole surviving active parish. Joined by guest speakers Professor LaVerne Summerlin (author of Gems of Cincinnati's West End) and Toilynn O'Neal Turner (director of the Robert O'Neal Multicultural Arts Center), Dr. Huey shares insights into neighborhood landmarks and the enduring legacy of Fr. Clarence Rivers—the Archdiocese of Cincinnati's first African American priest and a national pioneer in Black Catholic liturgical music and art. Stream now!
