Tuhia he tomokanga mo tenei whitianga - I hangaia te whare Ekalesia Bethel taketake i te 1889 hei taunga mo nga pononga o mua, a he mea hanga katoa i te rakau. I hangaia e te Reverend Jack Yates, kei te rohe o Freedmantown o Houston te puranga. I whakangaromia te hanganga taketake i te Pakaru Nui o te 1900
He aha? I waenga i te 1900 me te 1920, i whakaarahia he hanganga whare karakia tuarua ki runga ake i nga toenga engari i whakangaromia ano hoki i muri mai. E rua tekau ma toru tau i muri mai, i hangaia anō te hahi mō te toru o ngā wā, ā, ko te wā whakamutunga.
