The Committee to Restore the Abyssinian Meetinghouse in Portland, Maine is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the history of the African American community in Portland. The building was constructed in 1828 and served as a meeting place and a safe haven for escaped slaves and other African Americans in the community. The building was used as a church, school, and a center for cultural activities. It is the second oldest African-American church building in the United States.

The Committee to Restore the Abyssinian Meetinghouse was founded in 1987 and is dedicated to preserving the building and its historic significance. The committee works to educate the public about the African American experience in Portland and the importance of preserving the meetinghouse. The committee is made up of volunteers who raise funds, host events, and organize tours of the building. The committee also works to maintain the building and ensure that it is accessible to the public.

The Abyssinian Meetinghouse is an important part of the city’s history and a reminder of the struggle for freedom and equality for African Americans in the United States. It is a symbol of resilience, strength, and perseverance. The building also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our nation’s cultural heritage and the need to recognize the contributions of African Americans to our society.
