George W. Truett (1867-1944) was a noted Baptist preacher, former president of the Southern Baptist Convention, and Baylor University alumnus. He was the long-serving pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas. In 1920, Truett delivered his now-famous “Baptists and Religious Liberty” speech on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. Baylor University’s theological seminary is named in honor of his long legacy of service to the Lord.
