Shiloh Baptist Church on Whitney Albany, GA

Organized in 1888 under the leadership of Rev. Sam Byrd, Shiloh began with a small group of loyal dedicated baptized believers on a mission to spread the word of a risen savior.
Rev. Byrd and his loyal followers took what was available to them at 325 Whitney Avenue, a wooden frame house, barren floors, planked ceilings, boarded windows, and a makeshift steeple, then transformed it into a church and gave it the name SHILOH.
Today Shiloh is a historical landmark site where the 1961 Albany Civil Rights Movement started.
