First African Baptist Church is a historic place of worship that dates back to the late 1700s. It was the first black Baptist church in North America and has played a pivotal role in African American history. The church was a stop on the Underground Railroad, and many slaves sought refuge here on their journey to freedom. Visitors to the church can learn about its rich history and view artifacts from its past, including a slave balcony and a pulpit used by famous civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr.
