In September 1906, a mob of 5,000 white people killed 25 African Americans over a four-day killing spree that began in the Five Points neighborhood of downtown Atlanta. Though it is a defining moment in Atlanta’s history, the 1906 Atlanta Race Massacre is largely unknown and unrecognized today. A coalition of Atlanta organizations is working to change that.   

Join The Center on February 15th at 12pm EST to learn what happened in 1906 and how you can help tell the full story of Atlanta’s history as a way to create a more equitable future.
