Formerly located at this site was First Baptist Church, Capitol Hill, headquarters of the 1960s Sit-In movement, led by Rev. Kelly Miller Smith. Strategy sessions, non-violence workshops, mass meetings, victory celebrations, and administrative offices were here. The well-disciplined Nashville Sit-Ins served as a model for civil rights demonstrations throughout the South.
