Join us at the York County History Center for an inspiring presentation on the remarkable history of York’s Black Churches and their profound role in shaping social change. From the late 18th century to modern times, the Black Church has stood as a beacon of hope, education, and justice. In York, PA, these churches were more than places of worship—they were classrooms for children, centers for life skills and job training, and sanctuaries where the fight for equality was championed.

Led by Samantha Dorm, this presentation will share powerful stories of the Preachers, the People, and The Praise tied to the founding and legacy of Small Memorial A.M.E. Zion, Faith Presbyterian, Shiloh Baptist, and the impactful work of the Black Ministers Association. Many of these stories are preserved in the History Center’s exhibits and archives.
