Abstract:

St. Joseph’s Episcopal Church has been a source of social justice and spiritual enlightenment. On the National Registry of Historic Places, it has long historical ties with its area’s black community. The church founded for a black congregation also helped to found the Howard School, a parochial school, and social hall to military families denied access to the local USO.
