The African Meetinghouse on Nantucket, is a sacred space. As a Congregational Minister with a home on Nantucket, I have been privileged to be given permission to have weddings, Christmas Eve services, and baptisms at the Meetinghouse. I always mention to groups some of the important history of the African American community which used the Meetinghouse for lectures on its history, education, worship, meetings, and concerts. It is a very special place!
