Overview of your Atlanta tour

The Civil Rights Tour will tell the stories of Georgia's beginnings as the last of the original thirteen colonies on and up to Georgia's roles in the Civil War, Reconstruction, the Jim Crow Era and the Modern Civil Rights Movement. The Civil Rights Tour offers an on-site view of the rich heritage rooted in Atlanta's African American community over the past century. Atlanta's African American community has been an integral part of the city of Atlanta since before the Civil War. Segregated by Jim Crow laws, Atlanta's black population developed a network of independent businesses, churches, and community institutions, including a remarkable cluster of five black colleges around Atlanta University. Auburn Avenue was considered the nucleus of Atlanta's Black business community. This was the first tour that I developed in 1991, and it's still our most popular tour. This tour continues to evolve as more information becomes available.
