Historical Notes
The
United
Sons
and
Daughters
of
Charity
was a
local
self-help
and
benevolent
organization
that
assisted
African
Americans
in the
wake
of the
end
of the
Freedmen's
Bureau
and
Reconstruction
in
Bolivar
and
Hardeman
County
.
Established
by a
group
of
African
American
free
men
in
1873
,
it
was
one
of
several
like
groups
to
form
in
Tennessee
during
the
Reconstruction
Era
. In
1909
, the
organization
expanded
its
level
of
community
service
by
purchasing
a
lot
and
building
a
lodge
hall
on
E
.
McNeal
Street
in
Bolivar
, in a
part
of
town
which
emerged
in the
years
of
reconstruction
and
Jim
Crow
as the
cultural
heart
of the
local
African
American
community
. The
building
burned
down
in the
1920s
. and was
rebuilt
in
1928
.
It
simultaneously
served
as a
school
and as a
church
building
for
several
congregationsFrom
1950-1970
, the
Lodge
Hall's
significance
within
the
landscape
became
even
more
pronounced
as
it
became
the
only
remaining
African
American
cultural
institution
on
E
.
McNeal
Street
when
the
other
churches
relocated
their
sanctuaries
and
built
new
edifices
on the
west
side
of
town
.
Today
it
is
the
oldest
African
American
building
in
Bolivar
.
