Lacey Kirk Williams

Lacey Kirk Williams (July 11, 1871, Eufaula, Alabama - October 29, 1940) was an African-American who served as President of the National Baptist Convention from 1922 to 1940 and as Vice President of the World Baptist Alliance between 1928 and 1940. He died in an aeroplane crash in 1940.

In 1922 he assumed the presidency of the National Baptist Convention. Under his leadership, the National Baptist Convention established an interracial alliance, which Williams called a "cooperative," with the American Baptists, a white denomination, that contributed greatly to the growth of the National Baptist Convention and to the black community as a whole.
