The Reverend C.K. Steele (1914-1980) was the most recognizable figure in the Tallahassee Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s and the city’s bus terminal was named in his honor. The former pastor of Bethel Missionary Baptist Church, Rev. Steele marched with Martin Luther Ling Jr. and was a founding member of the Southern Leadership Conference.
