Sunday, September 29
Join us this Fall to celebrate the remarkable progress on St. Augustine’s restoration. St. A’s would have been lost to gentrification if it were not for our community’s efforts. We’re gathering at the church – the star of the show – on September 29th to honor our community for pulling together to safeguard this historic, living landmark. Food, music, games, a special exhibition, and a presentation on the future of the restoration effort, will all be on offer. It’s time to come have some fun at St. A’s!
Black History in Action for Cambridgeport (BHAC), in partnership with the Cambridge Neighborhood Association (CNA), is excited to invite you to participate in a Neighbourhood Discussion: What Do You Want to See Happen at St. Augustine’s? Our goal is to create a space that is inclusive, community-owned, and community-led, and we want to hear from YOU!
"Reflections: A Sonic Laboratory" is a transformative sound bath intended for listeners to relax, reflect, and appreciate the historical contributions of past communities.
Learn about the church, nestled between the campuses of MIT and Harvard, anchored Cambridge’s sizeable African-Caribbean diasporic community.
