Berkeley church to be razed and replaced with 3 homes

At its height, Church for Today founded in 1957 by theologian, educator, and music promoter the Rev. William Hazaiah Williams, Jr. was a sonically vibrant, multiracial hub in Northwest Berkeley. The church's long-running concert series showcased Black opera stars and classical musicians. In the 1970s, a young Barbara Lee, now mayor of Oakland, had a spiritual and ethical awakening in its pews. Later, in the 1990s, church leaders were charged with fraudulently using money taken in for the concert series toward personal expenses.

"We have challenges in Oakland with reckless drivers, speeding... how do we scrub some of that speed off?"
