African Meeting House Restoration

Thanks to the Brockton Enterprise for news of the restoration of the African Meeting House on Beacon Hill in Boston. This gathering and organizing place for the abolitionist movement is re-opening on December 7, more than a century after it was last used by an African-American congregation. It had served as a synagogue for many years, and was acquired by the Museum of African American History in 1972.
