Georgia is rich with landmarks that reflect its vital role in Black history:
• Visit the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park in Atlanta, which includes the civil rights leader’s childhood home and Ebenezer Baptist Church, where he preached.
• Experience The National Center for Civil and Human Rights, offering an interactive exploration of the civil rights movement. If you cannot visit in person, you can enjoy an interactive virtual tour.
• Explore the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum tracing Savannah’s Black history.
These landmarks and others throughout Georgia offer a powerful connection to the struggles and triumphs of Black Georgians.
