Bensalem African Methodist Episcopal Church

This church was founded in 1818 by freed slaves and still holds services. This location was in a small African American neighborhood, I've heard, in the 1950s, maybe, called "Little Jeruslaem." I don't know whether the name was somehow meant to be perjorative or not.
