Brown Chapel

When the red-brick, twin-towered Brown Chapel was built by black builder AJ Farley in 1908, congregants could not have guessed that their church would play a crucial role in the Civil Rights struggle. In 1965, activists gathered here as it was the departure point for those undertaking the march to Montgomery. You can visit the church and peek inside, but keep in mind this is a working, practicing house of worship; dress and act accordingly.
