The African American residents of Sewanee have lived principally in two neighborhoods. The St. Mark’s neighborhood is the larger of the two and today bounded on the North and East by the town’s two cemeteries, and on the South by Highway 64. It was home to the Black community’s “mission” Episcopal church, segregated school, and social center, the “Belmont Club.” The smaller neighborhood was next to the Sewanee Military Academy on Tennessee Avenue (now home of the School of Theology and college dormitories) and called “Essie-May” (for SMA).
