Notes |
Presently owned by the National Park Service (NPS), the building is remarkably intact and still conveys its historic past as a religious edifice. To this end, Curtis Freewill Baptist Church is able to project the roles that Baptist theology played in the education and religious practices of African American students. It also speaks to the paternalistic structure of Christian missionary work. With its historic roots in rural New England, the Freewill church spread its influence across the country by opening schools for minority students, many of which were controlled by trustee boards comprised mainly of white New Englanders who rarely visited the institutions under their charge. Absent from the day to day activities of their schools and churches, yet still holding financial purse strings, the Freewill Baptist denomination likely alienated many African Americans, students and non-students alike.
