Black Heritage Trail

Black Heritage Trail

It is a pity that I did not join the Black Heritage Trail on Friday. I went there on Sunday and learned them. I am interested in Charles Street Meeting House.
This meeting house was built in 1807 by the white Third Baptist Church of Boston. The question arose sometime later as to whether this name was not strictly the property of the African church on Smith Court. The name was consequently changed to Charles Street Baptist Church.
After the Civil War, the black population of Boston increased considerably, and the largest of its churches purchased this building in 1876. The African Methodist Episcopal Church (A.M.E.) remained here until 1939. It was the last black institution to leave Beacon Hill. Today the Charles Street A.M.E. is located on Elm Hill Avenue and Warren Street in Roxbury.
It is not only a old house or street, it is full of history that we can think a lot and learn a lot from that.
