HISTORY

Have you ever heard of the First African Baptist Church. Orginally named, First Colored Baptist, this place is more than just a church, it's like a time machine back to 1773! Yeah, that's even before the United States was a thing. Pretty crazy, right?

First African Baptist Church is a must-visit landmark in Savannah. Wait, there's more! Get this, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. himself gave a speech there! A part of the same speech that he gave during the March on Washington. That's right, the infamous "I Have A Dream". This place is like a living, breathing history book!
