About this event

Did you know that one of Houston’s oldest African American institutions began in 1848, when enslaved individuals gathered in faith to worship together? By 1851, they built a humble wooden church in downtown Houston. After Emancipation in 1865, the congregation secured land at Travis, Bell, and Clay—laying a foundation for generations to come.
