Union Illumination

Stairs to cellar a door at the historic Union Church adjacent to Titus Sparrow Park. At night. South End, Boston.

A bit about historic Union Church from the Church's website:
"Our History: Union’s story begins in 1796 when a group of African-American believers began meeting for study and worship on Beacon Hill. David Walker, who published the influential “Appeal to the Colored Citizens of the World,” was a member of this congregation. They soon outgrew this space and built a larger church that was a station along the Underground Railroad. With the migration of Boston’s black population, the congregation moved from Beacon Hill to Roxbury and then to its current home on Columbus Avenue in Boston’s South End . . . Throughout the decades Union has hosted the NAACP convention (1950) that voted to pursue Brown v. Board and the Duke Ellington Sacred Jazz Orchestra (1966). In the 1970s, Union led the development of Meth-Union Manor, a four-building affordable housing cooperative in the South End. During the 1980s and 1990s we fought against apartheid in South Africa and for economic equality for all at home. In 2000, Union voted officially to become what it had been for decades: a safe space for LGBTQ persons. Today, we continue this rich legacy, and each year we co-present Boston’s premier and the nation’s longest running MLK Memorial Breakfast, which unites the “beloved community” for peace and justice."
