First African, Silver Bluff, Springfield and First Bryan Baptist Churches represent a deep southern spiritual lineage that expresses itself throughout the African diaspora.

First African, at 23 Montgomery st in Savannah is the most well known African American history site in the city. Right across from Franklin Square I joined @bbin_savannah and @daycleansoul on a journey through history. Classical Arabic carved into Georgia church pews, leaders venerated in stained glass, the Kongo cosmogram. First African gives you a lot to say wow about.

This is one of our institutions and it’s older than the United States itself. It’s a story of migration and our people using the church as a vehicle for freedom, dignity, and peace.

This time, I’m going to encourage everyone to get some more of their own research started. If you want to learn more about this, here are some key words to search :

Tunis G. Campbell is one of those leaders in coastal Georgia and Black American history in general that everyone should know! Born in New Jersey, he was such an important and effective activist in the north that he was specially chosen to assist the freedmen of the south ! Under his leadership, we saw some of the greatest organizing of his time on St. Catherine’s Island and McIntosh County!

Follow me for more African American history, Black History, Gullah Geechee Culture, and African Diaspora Connections !
