Mt. Zion AME Church


category : Churches
The first brick church building owned by African Americans in Charleston was purchased in 1882 by members of Emanuel AME Church to alleviate its overcrowded conditions. The 54th & 55th Massachusetts worshipped here while stationed in Charleston. With its six different choirs, it is the only church in Charleston that offers the widest variety of service music, ranging from classical to original unarranged Negro spirituals that date before the 1900s.
