- Biographical or historical data
- Charleston, S.C., benevolent society of free African American and racially mixed men organized by members of St. Philip's Episcopal Church in 1790. The Brown Fellowship Society provided support for needy orphans and adults. Land for a hall was purchased in 1794, and a cemetery consecrated on the grounds the same year. A contract to erect a brick building on the site was signed in 1804. The Society, which changed its name to the Century Fellowship Society in 1890, ceased regular meetings in 1916. During the late 1980s the Brown Fellowship Society was reactivated to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Society.
