The first known, free blacks in the area were identified in 1809. During this time, there was a movement to send all blacks to Africa. Few left, and those who remained worked diligently to make Licking County their own. The fruits of their labor can be partially seen in the development of the first black church, Trinity African Methodist Episcopal Church, which was started in the 1800's and has been a pillar of the community since its completion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRita Jackson is a Multicultural Consultant and Race Relations Mediator.
