The Jefferson Davis Hotel is a former hotel located in Montgomery, Alabama. Built in 1927, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 1979. The buildings used to feature the WSFA radio studio, where Hank Williams performed in the late 1930s.[2] The hotel remained segregated into the 1960s. African-American preachers, among them Ralph David Abernathy and Martin Luther King, Jr., were allowed into WSFA's studio to broadcast a sermon on Sunday mornings.[3] It is currently used as apartments for the elderly.
