History

Bishop John Wesley Alstork had been an active member of the local African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church (A.M.E. Zion Church), and he founded the A.M.E. Zion Theological Institute in 1898, which contained the Theological Building that was built in 1911.[3] The former A.M.E. Zion Theological Institute campus is now the campus of Lomax-Hannon Junior College.[4]
