The Rev. Dale Snyder sits in the pews at Bethel AME Church where he is pastor, in Pittsburgh on Tuesday, April 11, 2023. Bethel, considered Pittsburgh's oldest Black congregation, lost its previous sanctuary when much of Pittsburgh's historic Lower Hill District was razed in the 1950s, making way for an arena and expressway in an urban renewal project. More than 60 years later, in what's being called a step toward "restorative justice," the church is poised to obtain use of a 1.5-acre parcel near its former site in an agreement with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
