First Baptist Church, MLK Street

First Baptist Church on Martin Luther King Street was designed 

in the Gothic Revival style by local black architect Dave Benjamin West

 and built in 1894. The church became one of the planning centers

 of the Civil Rights Movement during the 1960s.

 It is located on the same street as Brown Chapel AME Church,

 also noted for its history with civil rights.
