Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, Kelli Johnson Jan 2020

Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, Kelli Johnson

Publications

The petition asked for letters of dismissal from the Church in order to organize and start and new church. Those forty-one people wanted to create a new church that better met the needs of the community. After a vote, with only one dissent, the news was delivered to the Church clerk on a Thursday in July. This new church would become the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church.
