Preservation Alliance Winter Speaker Series

In this richly illustrated presentation, author Amy Jane Cohen will examine the many ways in which history is acknowledged in our built environment. Her talk will focus on the historical importance of Christian Street in the Black Philadelphia experience. She will describe the history of the First African Baptist Church and efforts to save the building from demolition. She will also look at the successful campaign to create the Christian Street/Black Doctors Row Historic District.

This talk has been developed explicitly for the Preservation Alliance of Greater Philadelphia’s Winter Speaker Series and prior registration is required.
