Carol Taylor, the chairman of the Hunt County Historical Commission, reviews the early history of black churches in Hunt County. Carol says a former slave, A.J. (Andrew Jackson) Hurdle, was a pastor and one of the original founders of the Clark Street Christian Church in Greenville, which remains very active today. Hurdle also founded churches in Campbell, Caddo Mills and Lone Oak, and started several schools for black children.
