Civil Sights: Sweet Auburn, a Journey through Atlanta's National Treasure by Gene Kansas
Venue:
Atlanta History Center: McElreath Hall
130 West Paces Ferry Road NW, Atlanta, GA 30305
Event Description:
Once the wealthiest Black neighborhood in the world, the Sweet Auburn Historic District in Atlanta, Georgia, now occupies a distinct place, both historically and geographically. It is at once the globally significant birthplace of the civil rights movement; and it also lays in the wake of social, commercial, and urban challenges that have left some of its most important spaces and places in a state of peril?and even in danger of demolition?as Atlanta grows in, around, and over it.
