Fire, Faith, and Future in Wilmington | Philadelphia News

Discover the powerful story of Mother African Union Church, the oldest Black congregation in Delaware, through a new exhibition called “Ancestral Dream, Living Blueprint.” Moved from its burned sanctuary to the Wilmington Historical Society after a devastating May fire, the exhibit showcases rare artifacts, original blueprints, and never-before-seen Sunday school notes from 1813. It also highlights the August Quarterly—the nation’s oldest African American freedom festival—celebrating over 200 years of resilience. As the church rebuilds, this exhibit honors its legacy and looks ahead with hope. Don’t miss it—on display until October 17th.
