Philadelphia's Mother Bethel Church Puts Spotlight On Black History During America's 250th Anniversary

CBS Philadelphia

A historic church in Philadelphia's Society Hill neighborhood will be an integral part of the city's 250th anniversary celebration.

Mother Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church will offer tours, trips through its museum and programming to highlight the role it has played in the African American community for generations.

Deep-rooted history lies in every crevice of Mother Bethel, which sits on the oldest parcel of land continuously owned by African Americans.
