Looking up Dexter Avenue toward the State Capitol
The astroturfed resting place of the King of Country and his wife Audrey, no doubt the influence of many of Hank's most heartfelt and painful songs. Be sure to notice the Art Deco reliefs at the base of his grave featuring the names of many of his best tunes.
the dexter king memorial baptist church is located on dexter ave two blocks west of the capitol. the second colored baptist church was founded on market street (dexter ave.) in 1877 on the site of a slave pen. in 1879 the church trustees purchased a lot on the corner of dexter ave. and decatur street where the current church is located. after that move the second colored baptist church was renamed the dexter ave. baptist church. in 1978 the church was renamed the dexter king memorial baptist church in honor of martin luther king. martin luther king was a pastor at the dexter ave. baptist church from 1954 to 1960. the dexter ave. baptist church was involved in the 1955-1956 montgomery bus boycott and the event made martin luther king nationally famous. montgomery buses were finally desegregated in november 1956. the dexter king memorial baptist church is listed as a national historic landmark and is open to the public for tours. for those interested in civil rights history the dexter king memorial baptist church should not be missed on a visit to montgomery.
