Black Bank Forecloses on Historic Black Church

"Scandal-plagued Hub bank OneUnited has begun foreclosure proceedings
against Roxbury's historic Charles Street African Methodist Episcopal
Church, one of Boston's oldest and most-respected black churches, the
Herald has learned. Abolitionists including Frederick Douglass and
William Lloyd Garrison led rallies at the congregation's original
Beacon Hill home.

OneUnited, the nation's largest black-owned bank — which got millions
in federal bailout money — is threatening to auction off the church
March 22 to cover a $1.1 million 'balloon' mortgage that recently came
due."

And, according to the Boston Herald, ""Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino
is offering to help Roxbury's historic Charles Street AME Church avoid
foreclosure — and blasting the bank that's trying to seize the house
of worship."
