Title: Passing the Gavel.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: Louisville -- Dr. Charles E.S. Kraemer (right) hands over the moderator's gavel to Dr. Lawrence W. Bottoms, the first black person ever to be moderator of the 900,000 member Presbyterian Church in the U.S. (Southern). Dr. Bottoms, 66, the pastor of the predominantly white Oakhurst Presbyterian Church in Decatur, Ga., won a first-ballot victory at the denomination's 114th General Assembly in Louisville to succeed Dr. Kraemer as moderator. Dr. Bottoms had already set to other precedents in the 113-year-old PCUS, when he served as the first black moderator of the Louisville Presbytery and the first black moderator of any PCUS synod (Kentucky) -- both in 1962.
