The Zionst Temple of 1875
Saint Benyamin of the Moor First Zion Sabbath School
The First Zion Sabbath School was founded around 1852 by Rev J.J. Moore of the AME Zion Church in San Francisco, California in the basement of a church. Bishop Moore was the first Principal and teacher, who fought mightily for “negroes” to receive a proper education and for the state to provide funding. The school was founded… years before the abolishment of slavery.
In 1916 there was major earthquake that dispersed school and church members, and the school laid dormant for a number of years until the year 2020, when it was restarted by a descendant of Rev. Moore.
Currently in the year 2024, the school hosts regular seminars and workshops titled- Money, Power, Popularity & Politics: The Doctrine of Economic Security
