About this event



On 21 Curve Street in West Newton, a quietly regal white building sits facing the road. The sign in the front identifies the structure as the historically Black Myrtle Baptist Church. For 149 years, the church has been a cornerstone of the African American community in Newton, creating a space for worship, togetherness, and empowerment. 


Join us in person at the SLC to hear Katy Haywood, life long member and Church Historian speak about the rich history of the church and its continued importance for the black community in Newton.
