Mt. Zion AME Church was a meeting place for local Black families to plan how to immediately, and then continually, respond to a policy of segregation of their public elementary school children (grades 1-8) from white children in March 1932, imposed by two separate school districts, Tredyffrin and Easttown. An official PA Historical & Museum Commission marker commemorating this courageous action was unveiled November 21, 2020 with many dignitaries in attendance and speaking.
