Comments
A resident of nearby Fremont, OH said: “My two brothers and several cousins live in Bellevue. There was a church that was predominantly African American that was burned to the ground in the 1970s or 1980s. The official cause was ruled accidental, but a cousin told my father that he and several other residents burned the church down to keep the town white.”
