SUMMARY:Carpenters' Company of Philadelphia: \"Changing the Face of th
 e City - The Architectural History of the African Methodist Episcopal 
 Church\"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Documenting the Architectural History of the A
 frican Methodist Episcopal Church: A Case Study, a virtual lecture wit
 h Charlette Caldwell of Columbia University. An architectural history 
 of the African Methodist Episcopal Church illustrates Philadelphia and
  its environs as a crucible for Black self-reliance through property. 
 Many AME church leaders supported property ownership as an avenue for 
 respectability, appealing to those with economic and political influen
 ce despite historical limitations placed on Black Americans. The idea 
 of Black respectability coupled with land ownership is significant in 
 the property acquisition and eventual founding of the Bethel AME Churc
 h of Germantown and its connection with the Montier Family. The Montie
 r Family was a Black family whose ancestral ties to the first mayor of
  Philadelphia led to economic stability not afforded to most Black Ame
 ricans.\nThe event is part of the Carpenters' Company of Philadelphia'
 s \"Changing the Face of the City,\" a series of programs and events t
 hat explore the intersection of historic preservation and urban planni
 ng/renewal through the lens of equity and social justice. Renowned urb
 an planner Edmund Bacon used the phrase \"Changing the Face of the Cit
 y\" to describe Philadelphia's renaissance in his classic 1967 book \"
 Design of Cities,\" unintentionally alluding to the literal consequenc
 es of many preservations, planning, and renewal efforts. The Presentin
 g Sponsor of \"Changing the Face of the City\" is Premier Building Res
 toration.\n\nFor more information visit http://phillytodo.com/events/c
