Photograph of the Mennonite House, which was located on Houston Street in Atlanta, Georgia and served as a residence and headquarters for Mennonites active in the civil rights movement. Awnings cover the windows and the porch on this large two-story structure.
The house was established by Vincent Harding, a Mennonite minister, and his wife, Rosemarie. In 1962 Vincent Harding was arrested at a demonstration in Albany, Georgia during the Albany Movement, prompting internal debate over appropriate protest activities for Mennonites. The Hardings ultimately left Mennonite House in 1964. - Metadata URL:
