Born a slave in 1838, his father and slave master granted John Sunday his freedom who would later become one of the wealthiest men in the South.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Today I am thankful for the salvation of one of John Sunday Society’s “Seven To Save,” the former Mount Olive Baptist Church by Maker Construction & Development. Built in 1928, it was home to the church until 1982 when they relocated to a larger facility. The building has been vacant since 2004 when Hurricane Ivan left it uninhabitable.

Our Story

The John Sunday Society — originally established in 2016 in a bid to save Sunday’s historic 1901 house in downtown Pensacola — is relaunching with a broader mission: to raise awareness of Pensacola’s diverse history and advocate for the preservation of Pensacola’s historic places and spaces.

The society will place a special, but not exclusive, focus on Pensacola’s underrepresented history by shining a light on untold stories of people of color, immigrants, and women in the city’s history.
