Working at Temple

Universal Negro Improvement Association

These are the directions that got our group to the UNIA.

We started at The Tuttleman Learning Center (TLC) and went to Montgomery st until we hit Cecil B. Moore. We walked South of Cecil B. Moore until we got to 17th st. We walked until we got between the streets of Norris & Berks. The area seemed to be rundown but a man who worked there told us that the building was alive and well. He also invited us to visit there soon.

How we got from the UNIA to JRF.

We start out going west on Cecil B. Moore until we got to 17th st. We then made a right on 17th st and then walk a block until we saw the JRF sign. It was not that hard to find our destination because my school was right around that area.

• George W. South Memorial Church of The Advocate

When something is relevant in the past and present it is considered "classic" and that definitely is consistent with "The Church of The Advocate" that was founded in the memory of George W. South in 1897. Being one of the first Episcopal churches in the world to ordain women, it began with innovate ideas about woman's rights and created opportunities for women to prosper. Eleven women were ordain to the Episcopal church in 1974 and by doing that "The Church of The Advocate" made history. It appears that the church truly embraced the idea of helping others, not only did the church aid women in their search for religious liberation, "The Church of The Advocate" also gave a helping hand in the Civil Rights Movement.

The Reverend at the time Paul Washington saw his church as a median to bring equality and the community together. Reverend Washington allow many Civil Rights meetings in the church including The National Conference of Black Power (1968) and The Black Panther Conference (1970). Though, the Civil Rights movement is over and women in general have the same benefits as men, paying homage to the George W. South Memorial Church of The Advocate would only be right. The church that was founded decades ago still has purpose today, as a place for children of the North Philadelphia community to come and learn in a safe and comfortable environment.
