On Sunday, February 23, 2020, Zion Hill Missionary Baptist Church celebrated Black History 2020 with a special program honoring the “Father of Gospel Music,” the late Thomas Dorsey, at 1825 W Hampton Ave. This year along with the special tribute to Thomas Dorsey, Zion Hill honored “Pioneering Local Black Men.” This year’s honorees included State Rep. Kalan Haywood, II for his pioneering contribution to public service; Deacon Emeritus Thomas R. Morgan for his pioneering contribution to church ministry; the late Rev. Alonzo Clemons for his pioneering contribution to church music ministry; and Minister Anthony McCahee also for his pioneering contribution to church music ministry.
