Preserving Raleigh’s Black Churches

Tarboro Road Community Center

Historic churches face many challenges. These historic spaces are havens of resilience, activism, and cultural identity. They are also physical reminders of that legacy to their communities. Come learn about the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Preserving Black Churches grant. The information we'll be sharing is aimed at church leadership and decision makers. We are encouraging registration, but it's not required. One person can register on behalf of all members attending from the same church. If you have dietary restrictions, or need language services, please let us know.
