The Media Fellowship House is a non-partisan interracial and interfaith organization in Media, Pennsylvania. The house has been used to hold programs for children and senior citizens, and also host civics groups and civil rights activities.[1][2]

History

The idea for the Fellowship House began when two white women, Dorothy James and Julia Fowler witnessed a waitress in a restaurant refuse service to three African Americans, Marie Whitaker and her daughter and Edna Best.[3][4] All of the women left the restaurant together and ate in another place.[3][5] James and Fowler decided to create an interracial fellowship.[3] They founded the house in 1944,[6] in a room over a two car garage.[7] They used that room for nine years.[7] In 1953, they obtained a new, larger building and in 1955 built a new wing using money from the memorial fund for Ellen Starr Brinton.[6]

The Fellowship home almost disbanded in 1970, but the board chose to continue its mission.[8]
