On September 15, 1918, members of Port Huron's African American community organized Shiloh Baptist Church in South Park, one of the city's first black neighborhoods. By the early 1920s the church had acquired the current building from a white Baptist congregation. Though the racial and ethnic composition of South Park has changed over time, the church came to be regarded as the symbolic center of Port Huron's black population.
Visit Instructions:Take a photo of your GPS at the marker. We'd prefer a photo of you with your GPS, but we realize that sometimes that's just not possible or preferable.
Also include a bit about your visit to the marker.
NEW: Instructions for logging Missing Marker Visits.
If the Marker is missing, but still listed here, you must provide a photo of you at the actual item historically honored. (This should be the waymark's "default" image). Indicate in your log that you took your photo at the Historical Location instead of the marker, because the marker was missing. Please also still include a bit about your visit to the site.
