Learn about the history of Black culture in Savannah with these historical sites

Written by Meg Aki, Photos by Meg Aki There are many historical sites, museums and monuments that can be found throughout Savannah that aim to educate visitors about the history of Black culture in the city. Below are a few that you can check out the next time you’re walking around the city. 1) First African Baptist Church Located at 23 Montgomery Street, First African Baptist Church is the oldest Black church in North America. Even predating the United States’ formation in 1776, First African Baptist Church was organized in 1773 by Reverend George Leile with a mostly enslaved congregation. The church notably served as a stop on the Underground Railroad, housing enslaved people escaping to the North underneath the floorboards. Although much of the church has changed since then due to its age as well as natural disasters, it has maintained many of the original church fixtures including the oldest pipe organ in Georgia. First African Baptist is a church with an incredibly rich history and is still in active use today, holding regular worship services in addition to acting as a historical monument open for tours. You can find more information on their website.
