Grace Church
celebrated our inclusion as Site #28
on the African American Heritage Trail of Martha's Vineyard

    A new plaque outside the Grace Episcopal Church in Vineyard Haven includes a straightforward question from the baptismal covenant of the Book of Common Prayer: “Will you strive for justice and peace among all people and respect the dignity of every human being?”
    The plaque was officially unveiled Sunday afternoon as Grace Church became the 28th site on the African American Heritage Trail of Martha’s Vineyard.

“When I was 5 years old, my mother told me that happiness was the key to life.
When I went to school, they asked me
what I wanted to be when I grew up.
I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me
I didn’t understand the assignment, and
​I told them they didn’t understand life.”
​~John Lennon
