These churches also became the centers of communities, serving as school sites, taking up social welfare functions such as providing for the indigent, and going on to establish orphanages and prison ministries. As a result, black churches were particularly important during the Civil Rights Movement.The creation of autonomous black churches was a major achievement of the Reconstruction era, and a central component of blacks' conception of freedom.Churches were political spaces where church members established power, belonging and accountability.For many African American Christians, regardless of their denominational differences, Black Churches have always represented their religion, community, and home.
