Amplifying the importance of Sweet Auburn in Black history.
About this Event

Join The National Center for Civil and Human Rights at Constellations on Auburn Avenue as we amplify the importance of Sweet Auburn in Black history. Learn local history from our speakers, take a tour with our staff, and enjoy music and refreshments throughout the day as we honor the important work that took place in these buildings.

Celebrating Black History in Sweet Auburn will feature engaging speakers at Constellations, a civic and socially based shared workspace in the Southern School Book Building. This building served as the headquarters for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) when John Lewis was its Chairperson.

Guests are invited to take our walking tour, which explores the meaning, importance, and impact of historic buildings and murals, including the District V “Honor” mural featuring Roslyn Pope and the John Lewis “HERO” mural.

The Burke Music Academy will perform at the Historic Daily World Building, which was where Club Poinciana operated between 1944 and 1954, below the Atlanta Daily World offices. Club Poinciana once featured such greats as Billie Holliday, Louis Armstrong, Little Richard, and Benny Goodman.

Light refreshments and children’s activities will be provided.

This program is generously sponsored by PNC.
