This image shows the dining room of the Dexter Parsonage Museum in Montgomery. Martin Luther King Jr. and his family lived in the parson's home of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church from 1954 to 1960, during the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The house was built in 1912 in the city's Centennial Hill neighborhood as a home and was purchased by the church in 1919. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
