I had just touched the exterior brick of the Church and I just about started to cry. Very moving experience. Also please go across the street and walk through Freedom Walk park.
It was an emotional visit for me.
I'm so glad I made a detour to visit this historic site.

Very heart felt from the moment I step out my car onto this property. Just to think of what happened to these children for no reason, other than the hate in others heart for people of a different color. In a place you would think you are safe. Read the stories behind this landmark of history
There is so much history in this place! It celebrates the struggles, tragedies and triumphs and is still a vibrant church community.
I took my daughter to visit this as she loves history. We had an amazing time. We did not do the tour due timing but just to be there with apart of black history, was an amazing feeling!
Their panels with pictures and timelines were very neatly displayed, and the information on them was very comprehensive. After the excellent guided tour, I had to go back to the panels exhibit and further read all the information.
Came here to see this part of History. And I wanted to see the glass from Wales. I talked to someone here and they said for me to come in I have to pay $10. I don't see anyone else talking about the fee. I've never heard of a church where you have to pay to come into it. Really? A church that charges you to come through the door. Disgusting. Wanting to make a buck off something religious like this. If they were serious about their mission they should not only do it for free they should be inviting people in from all walks of life and welcoming everyone. Apparently they don't want to make a difference. They just want to make some extra cash. I've been in churches that have been on the national registry That have not charged a penny. I just I'm really disappointed. Did I pay for it? No way. I don't want a tour. I just wanted to enjoy the church.
