"The small but mighty Museum of African American History focuses on the life and work of the African American community who lived on the north slope of Beacon Hill in the 19th century and propelled the abolitionist and civil rights movements forward. At the end of a quiet street, the museum spans two historic brick buildings, both with significant legacies in the neighborhood. The first, the African Meeting House, is the oldest black church still standing today, which served as the “Black Faneuil Hall” and later, an informal home to the abolitionist movement. Next door, the Abiel Smith School was the nation’s oldest public school for African American children and eventually a headquarters for black Civil War veterans." - Andrew Sessa, Elizabeth Wellington
