This is the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery where M.L.King Jr. was the pastor from 1954 to 1960. It was in 1955 in Montgomery that Rosa Parks refused to move her seat on a bus that set the stage for the lengthy bus boycott here that advanced the civil rights movement. King was at the forefront of that effort and gained national prominence here. This is a part of the Selma to Montgomery NHT that traces the walk for voter’s rights. The church is now named the Dexter Avenue MLK Memorial Baptist Church.
