The  Lincoln Theater on Myrtle Walk may soon be listed on the National Register of Historic Sites.  The Old South Baton Rouge property was once a cultural hub for African Americans in the 1950's thru the 1970's. 

Now, the East Baton Rouge Redevelopment District along with the Louisiana Black History Hall of Fame plan to re-open the theater, complete with a Black History Museum.  They are hoping this will be the first step in revitalizing  the entire Old South Baton Rouge area.
