Jackson-Community House Historic
The Jackson Community House and Museum in Montgomery, AL, was established in 1943 by the Montgomery City Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs, serving as a vital hub for civic engagement and social support within the African American community. This historic site has hosted a variety of programs and activities, ranging from youth leadership training to cultural events and was notably the city's first library accessible to African Americans.
Beyond its role as a community center, the Jackson Community House served as a meeting place for the Women's Political Council, which played a key role in initiating the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The building continues to be remembered as a significant landmark in the history of civil rights and community empowerment.
