Chicago church reopens after fire
Chicago's historic Pilgrim Baptist Church has opened its doors for the first time since a fire two years ago ravaged the structure on the city's South Side.
The church is known as the birthplace of gospel music and Sunday it hosted members of the National Convention of Gospel Choirs in town for their annual convention. The group toured the salvaged space of the church.
The building was designed in the late 1800s by the famous architectural firm headed by Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler. Mahalia Jackson, Sallie Martin, James Cleveland, and the Staples Singers are among those who have sung at the church.
