Jefferson Negro Church in Flags in the Dust (Location)

This church - referred to by its unnamed pastor as the "late Fust Baptis' church" (286) - has already been "burnt down" before the novel begins (240). It is mentioned in the novel in the comic context of Simon's misappropriation of the funds that the Negro congregation has been saving to replace it with a Second Baptist church. The narrative says nothing more about how it was burned down, and provides no details that would help us identify where it stood. The place we give it on the map is in the part of Jefferson that other fictions refer to as the Negro section of town - but it could certainly have been elsewhere. (There are active Negro churches mentioned in five other fictions, and there's a good chance they were Baptist too, but this is the only text that specifies a denomination.)
