A.M.E. Church
National Register of Historic Places
In
the year 2000, Iowa City's Bethel A.M.E. church was
designated by
the National Park Service as one of the nations historic places worthy
of preservation. The registration form provides an indepth and
thorough review of not only the history of the church, but also the
history of the early African American population in Iowa CIty. In
my opinion, the contents of the application are extraordinary and such
an important part of Iowa City's cultural history. The form
is large so I've parceled out the various sections
and linked to them below. |
