This is a view looking down Dumas Street in St. Augustine. The First Baptist Church in St. Augustine, depicted in this painting, played a significant role in
the civil rights movement of St. Augustine, and of the United States as a whole, serving as a center
for gatherings and instrumental to organization during Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s visits in 1964.
The church, known as the "Cradle of the Civil Rights Movement in St. Augustine," provided space
for activists and was pivotal for the movement in the city.
