The International Longshoreman's Association Hall is a historic labor union meeting hall in Mobile, Alabama, built in 1949 in the Art Moderne style. Established by the International Longshoremen's Association in 1936 to represent the city's African American longshoremen, the hall became a vital cultural and political center. Its auditorium hosted performances by prominent African American entertainers and served as a gathering place during the Civil Rights Movement. On January 1, 1959, it was the only venue in Mobile where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered a public address. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 27, 2011.
