Council member Bernard C. Parks has dedicated the intersection of South Western Avenue and 57th Street as "Bishop J. Bernard Hackworth Court" in honor of the legendary founder and pastor of Testimonial Cathedral Church of God and Christ, who is celebrating his 40th year anniversary with the church. Among other things, Bishop Hackworth is responsible for creating a Christian school (Kindergarten-12th Grade), a 40-bed emergency shelter, and transitional home for women and children that offers vocational training. Bishop Hackworth also started a feeding and clothing distribution organization for the homeless and needy.
