This Atlanta Black History and Civil Rights Tour is an intense and intimate look at the community that was once called the 'Richest Negro Street in the World" and is still called "The Birthplace of a King"!

This tour is my favorite because it brings history to life the community that was one the pulse of Black culture in Atlanta and the place where the father of human rights was born.
