This two-story brick building once housed Robert Burns' photography studio and served as the office for SNCC's first Greenwood operative, Sam Block, in 1962. After Block was attacked, SNCC sent Lawrence Guyot and Luvaughn Brown to assist. The office faced intimidation and vandalism, leading Burns to request its relocation. Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. sent a telegram to President Kennedy, urging intervention on behalf of civil rights workers in Greenwood.
