Description

Sixteenth Street Baptist Church is located at the intersection of 16th Street and 6th Avenue North., The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata.
