Rev. Whitaker and family distributing relief goods.
Reverend R. A. Whitaker was the pastor at Mount Zion Baptist Church, which had only recently been completed and paid for before the riot. The reasons for its burning are debated, but it was believed to have held a large weapons cache, and that there were people shooting from it during the defense of Greenwood.
The ruins of Mount Zion Baptist Church are in the background of this photo.
