In 1855 and 1856 St. Andrews hosted two important “California Colored Citizens State Conventions,” where the state’s earliest black residents petitioned the Legislature for basic rights – the right to vote, to testify against whites in court and to send their children to public schools. It stands to this day as the oldest continuous African Methodist Episcopal (AME) congregation on the west coast.
