"On January 29, 1929, a group of Black pastors founded the Cambridge Community Center in the Coast neighborhood because the YMCA at the time was for whites-only. The pastors were committed to creating an inclusive space that responded to the growing inequalities and lack of opportunities in the community. From our historic facility built in 1882, we have served generations of children, teens, and families throughout Cambridge for over 95 years. Today, our mission is to alleviate symptoms of systemic racism and inequality by meeting the evolving need of under-resourced and historically excluded youth, families, and seniors through innovative programs and services." - https://www.cambridgecc.org/about-us.html
