Abstract:

The oldest known surviving African-American church in the state is the 1861 St. Philip's Moravian Church in Winston- Salem. In 1989, a group of community leaders and preservationists, known as the Ad Hoc Committee for the Preservation of St. Philip's, formed to save the old church. In 1991, St. Philip's was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
