PHOENIX FLIES 2025 | District V “Honor” Mural

Built in 1912, 145 Auburn Avenue has been home to a wide variety of businesses including the longest-running African-American daily newspaper in our country’s history, a vibrant jazz club hosting the era’s most prominent musicians, and the lesser known, but widely influential District V Girl Scout Troop — the first African-American troop in Atlanta. Founded in 1943, District V cultivated young women who were at the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement and the Atlanta Student Movement. The newly unveiled “Honor” Mural seeks to highlight the lifetime of work that troop member Rosalyn Pope shared and serve as inspiration for future generations.

Come see what’s possible when you conserve, protect, and care for history and culture. Delve into the rich history of 145 Auburn Avenue and the Sweet Auburn with Civil Sights, a forthcoming book dedicated to preserving the stories of the neighborhood's art, history, and culture.
