The Pennsylvania Hallowed Grounds was proud to partner with the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office to create and win National Park Service approval for this document, African American Churches and Cemeteries in Pennsylvania, c.1644-1970. It provides an overview of Pennsylvania’s African American history, and the important role that historic churches and cemeteries play in telling that story. By approving this document, the National Park Service recognized that African American churches and cemeteries are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
