The Cambridge Museum of History & Culture invites you to experience Grace: The History of Black Churches in Cambridge, an exhibition honoring Black History Month that shall be on display throughout February at the Kendall Public Lobby. Throughout this nation’s history, Black Churches have been a cornerstone of community, culture, and resilience, and this has certainly been the case in Cambridge. Black Churches have played an essential role not only in the spiritual lives of their congregants, but also serving as incubators for social justice, education, and community building. Grace strives to illuminate part of the rich history and contributions by highlighting just some of these enduring institutions, focusing on their collective, enduring legacy in our community. By showcasing the history of these important institutions, Grace aims to foster a deeper understanding of their significance in Cambridge's past, present, and future.

The Grace Exhibit is made possible by the generous work of community curators: Chandra Salvi Harrington, Deacon Cheryl Maynard, Dr. Cheryl Townsend Gilkes, Dr. Janie Ward, Dr. Kris Manjapra, Lynette Riley-Belle, Patricia Weems, Reverend Dr. Ellis I. Washington, Reverend Lorraine Thornhill, Sister Danita Callender, and Valerie Beaudrault, in fellowship with church congregations across the city. We would like to thank our generous sponsors for the tremendous support and incredible platform to connect, share, and learn: BXP, Cambridge Arts, The Cambridge Historical Commission, The Cambridge Redevelopment Authority, The Office of Mayor E. Denise Simmons, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
