The Pine Street Elementary School built here about 1918, was the pride of the African American community in Cambridge. Located in the city's second ward, the segregated school was a one-story wooden building with a full basement. The entire building was used for classes from first through seventh grade.

The school was destroyed by fire on July 24, 1967 during the civil rights riots. However, many of its alumni, ablaze with positivism, determination and good will, have made historical, professional and educational achievements throughout the country.

Pine Street Elementary School will always have a treasured place in the hearts of not only its students, but also the parents, relatives and members of the community it so graciously served.

The Empowerment Center opened on this site in 2003 and continues the tradition of providing educational programs for youth.

Principal E. T. Myers took great pride in the school and its students. Pine Street Elementary was widely known for its award winning drum and bugle corps, the Green Hornets, under the tutorage of George F. Cornish, Sr.
