Rev. Julius & Mother Coreania Carter Way (Queens)
Present name:None
Location:At the northeast corner of 167th Street and Linden Boulevard
Honoree: Coreania Hayman Carter (1916-2014) taught at a college in Alabama and a middle school in Arizona, but she also had a passion for music and a profound lyric soprano voice. She was eventually asked to join the Broadway production of "Porgy and Bess," with which she traveled to over 45 countries, and later starred as Cindy Lou in "Carmen Jones." In 1940, she met Rev. Julius Ceasar Carter and in 1945, they married. Despite her love for music, she decided to retire from singing and assist her husband in ministry. In 1946, Rev Carter rejoined the active military. At that time, Mrs. Carter was directing the choir at Allen AME Church, Jamaica. Its members impressed upon Mrs. Carter to ask Rev. Carter to organize a church and be its pastor. Carter Community AME Church was founded in 1947 with the first services being held at the Crowe Funeral Home. Many of the members were professional musicians and performers. That same year, Rev. Carter located a white frame building on Linden Blvd. The church held its first service there in August 1948, but that building was destroyed by fire in 1952. In 1964, ground was broken for a new church and senior citizen complex on the same site. While Rev. Carter was away in the military, Mrs. Carter held the church together, including buying bricks for the facing of the building and jumping on oil trucks to bring oil to keep it warm for service. Mrs. Carter organized the Bertha Faithful Missionary Society at Carter Community and served as its first president and as adviser until the end. She also was president of the AME Ministers Wives and Widows Alliance, and a life member of both the AME Missionary Society and the International Association of Missionaries. (Miller)
