Robert "Bob" Hicks House
Robert "Bob" Hicks House, Civil rights movement house in Bogalusa, United States.
The one-story residence spans 1,590 square feet, featuring weatherboard siding, concrete piers, and architectural elements common to 1950s ranch houses and 1930s bungalows.
From 1965 to 1969, this house served as the headquarters for the Deacons for Defense and Justice, an organization protecting civil rights activists from Ku Klux Klan attacks.
The residence functioned as a central meeting point for the Bogalusa Civic and Voters League, which worked to register Black voters in the local community.
The Robert Hicks Foundation maintains the property and coordinates educational tours focusing on civil rights history and architectural preservation throughout the year.
On February 1, 1965, the house withstood bombing threats from opponents of the civil rights movement, demonstrating its role in the struggle for equality.
