==History==
Calvary Baptist Church was organized 1878 to serve the growing African-American population of the city.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://calvarybaptistks.org/ )〕 By the 1880s, there were two-dozen black families on Main Street in the shadow of the Sedgwick County Courthouse. Most had moved to Wichita from southern states after the Civil War. The city continued to attract black residents and by the 1920 census, the black population of Wichita was 3,545 with a total population of 72,200. Membership at Calvary Baptist Church stood at 500 and 15 other congregations thrived in the city. The historic black community grew to encompass a 15-block area by the 1950s when urban renewal attempts displaced many of the area's residents.〔
The congregation relocated to a new structure approximately miles north in 1972 and Sedgwick County acquired the historic structure in 1975. The building currently houses The Kansas African American Museum.
